The main point was to take the LINUX vx BSD thread private or introduce _some_
sort of OPC (Obligatory Postgres Content) into it at least.

OPC...Just have to love how postgres does things thru the .bki scripts that you
can't duplicate thru psql, such as creating a function with 9 args.  Found this
when doing scripts to re-do the geometric stuff as loadable.  Right up there
with not being able to recreate the count aggregate and being able to drop the
oid type (not recommended. :).
