I found an old report where someone found that the get/setspecific wasn't working and it was allocating a new version of the structure each time. http://www.mail-archive.com/pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg42918.html That was on Solaris though. It would be instructive to test that by calling that function multiple times successivly and ensure it's returning the same addess each time.
