pqSocketCheck() didn't return, hung in poll()? Is it a bug? - Mailing list pgsql-bugs

Hi all,

    I have this problem today: one thread of our application hung, and
we found the thread waiting for the result of poll() function. poll()
was called by pgSocketCheck(). So is it a bug of pg? I found the bug
report from website(http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2008-02/msg00260.php),
and want to know:

  1. Has this problem been solved in the newest version?
  2. If not, what shall I do to avoid this problem?

   Thanks a lot!
