Possible problem with pg_reload_conf() and view pg_settings - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Hi,
I have been playing around with pg_reload_conf() and the pg_settings view.

I understand that the pg_settings view, if updated, applies to the 
current session only.
However I was under the impression that if I did a pg_reload_conf(), the 
pg_settings view would be updated at that time, but that does not seem to
happen. 
I am running on win32, but the same thing happens on Linux.

If I restart the Postgresql service then the pg_settings view contains 
the changes I made to the postgresql.conf file.

Any ideas, does this seem like a possible bug?  It just seems to me that 
pg_settings should be updated if a pg_reload_conf() is executed.


Thanks,

Tony
