Dear luca,
libpq is reentrant and thread-safe if the configure command-line option --enable-thread-safety has been used when the PostgreSQL distribution was built. In addition, you might need to use additional compiler command-line options when you compile your application code. Refer to your system's documentation for information about how to build thread-enabled applications.

One restriction is that no two threads attempt to manipulate the same PGconn object at the same time. In particular, you cannot issue concurrent commands from different threads through the same connection object. (If you need to run concurrent commands, start up multiple connections.)

Could you check these points?

BR,
Francesco
