Thread: Patch for elog(FATAL)/elog(ERROR) infinite loop?

Hi everyone.  Awhile back I reported the elog(FATAL)/elog(ERROR) infinite
loop and I see it marked in the TODO as done for 7.0.  Is there a patch
for this problem for 6.5.3?

Thanks...

Is your report [HACKERS] ERROR: infinite recursion in proc_exit ?
Is the TODO * -spinlock stuck problem when elog(FATAL) and elog(ERROR)
inside bufmgr  ?
The TODO case is different from your problem.

Oh. (pout) Is it in the TO_DO or, preferably, the HAS_BEEN_DONE?  :-)
