I just grepped the source, and PQInitSSL doesn't appear once. So I think it is never called at all. I'll try adding it to our application startup code, and see if that fixes the problem. This doesn't explain the broken connections without SSL though. I think if my threads were dying, I'd see a log message: there are top level exception handlers that log to email, file and the console. The connection code also has a handler that closes the connection in case of an exception. -- Erik Hesselink http://silkapp.com -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
