Re: fork/exec patch: pre-CreateProcess finalization

Claudio, where are we on this patch? I see an even newer version in the
archives:

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2003-12/msg00361.php

However, I have never seen that version, and Google doesn't show it
either:

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&c2coff=1&group=comp.databases.postgresql.patches

Anyway, Tom has looked at your newest patch and it looks good to him.

These are all marked not for application so we will just wait for you to
finalize it.
