AFAICS it is appropriate to move the sigsetjmp and setup_cancel_handler calls in front of the per-line loop inside MainLoop --- can anyone see a reason not to? I'm inclined to treat this as an outright bug, not just a minor performance issue, because it implies that a sufficiently long psql script would probably crash a Windows machine. regards, tom lane
