It bugged Lee enough that he went and wrote a patch for it. It bugged me
enough that I couldn't use it on our choice of platform (older Linux) that I
did some little fixes for that. I worked on what I needed.
If you need a justification for ECPG threading support: people porting from
Sybase/Informix/Oracle would probably expect ECPG to support threads, and
will get a nasty surprise when their ported application abruptly dies. I
expected it to "just work" and was unpleasantly surprised when it didn't.
