Re: Changing postgresql.conf values without restarting the postmaster?

Ok. I see the problem whit this. I'm not 100% sure on the fix, though.

The problem is that write_nondefault_variables() writes out variables of
type PGC_INTERNAL. I've attached a patch that simply prevents it from
doing this. It does make the problem go away, and I *think* it should be
safe, but I'm not totally sure...
