The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      1167
Logged by:          James Helm

PostgreSQL version: 7.4

Operating system:   Solaris 9 Sparc

Description:        POSIX getpwuid_r 4arg vs 5arg issue

Details:

I just downloaded the 7.4.3 tarball with timestamp 6/15 00:02, and am still
having issues with threads on a freshly loaded Solaris 9 server.  Looks like
maybe the latest Solaris 9 supports the 5 arg version of getpwuid_r?  I'm
just going to build without thread safety since I don't really need it for
now, but I thought you'd want to know it was still not 100% fixed.

Thanks.

Jim
