The multithreaded replication engine requires the libpq client library to be compiled with --enable-thread-safety on
certainoperating systems.   Known are thus far Solaris and AIX.  Other operating systems are known to not
requirethis (Linux-X86, FreeBSD-X86, FreeBSD-Alpha, OpenBSD-Sparc64 and OSX).  The configuration script is broken
withrespect to the --enable-thread-safety switch for Solaris.  Please apply this patch, configure and recompile
libpq:<a
