Hi,

I installed the patch you mentioned to fix the spinlock problems but I
found that even still we had problems with backends locking up and sitting
idle waiting for nothing, and other related problems.

I highly recommend you upgrade to 6.5 because it has fixed a lot of these
problems for us. See my next post to hackers/sql for more information.

ciao,
Wayne
