I wonder if this would be a good idea: #ifdef USE_SSL if (port->ssl) { int err; rloop: + errno = 0; n = SSL_read(port->ssl, ptr, len); err = SSL_get_error(port->ssl, n); switch (err) { case SSL_ERROR_NONE: port->count += n; break; It looks to me like the basic issue is that pq_recvbuf is expecting a relevant value of errno when secure_read returns -1, and there's some path in the Windows case where errno doesn't get set, and if it just happens to have been EINTR then we've got a loop. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
