If you use the --enable-thread-safety configure flag, you *MUST* use -Kpthread |
|
|
|
|
on ALL libpq using programs. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

libpq uses pthread_* calls, which are only available with the |

-Kpthread/-Kthread flag. |

You will see regression failures for the float4 and float8 regression |
|
|
|
|
tests on the NaN and inf I/O functions. This is due to a bug in SCO's strtod |
|
|
|
|
library function on BOTH UnixWare and OpenServer. It's slated to be fixed |
|
|
|
|
in the first maintenance / update for UnixWare 7.1.4, and probably the |
|
|
|
|
next MP/UP for OpenServer 5.0.7 (I'm not sure on the OSR side as of the time |
|
|
|
|
I'm writing this (2004-05-14). |

You might also see Join test failures due to ordering differences, and these |

are ok. |
