./configure --without-readline
Everything compiled fine, and all tests passed on "make check".

However, when I looked at my server this morning, one of the four
postmaster process was taking all CPU on one of my core (no db was
created, the postmaster should have been totally idle)

load averages: 0.09, 0.10,
0.09
08:47:40
252 processes: 250 sleeping, 2 on cpu
CPU states: 46.9% idle, 2.0% user, 51.0% kernel, 0.0% iowait, 0.0% swap
Memory: 2048M real, 1321M free, 389M swap in use, 3077M swap free

PID USERNAME LWP PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME CPU COMMAND
7188 postgres 1 0 0 17M 12M cpu/0 5:07 50.00% postgres
10440 root 1 49 0 3192K 1296K cpu/1 0:00 0.20% top
10392 cedric 1 59 0 9700K 2056K sleep 0:00 0.01% sshd
10438 root 1 59 0 5212K 2040K sleep 0:00 0.01% zsh

I tried to stop postgress using: 'su - postgres -c "pg_ctl stop -swm fast"'
but that function never returns. Even kill -9 couldn't stop the process.

This looks like a Solaris bug firstly, but I thought I'd mention it.
