Don't start on the SCO issue. I submitted patches last weekend to fix the
UnixWare (and possibly other) issues.

You said you were working on them, then I see the note that BETA2 was tagged
with INVALID shell code in src/templates/unixware, and
the per-platform threading stuff BROKEN on UnixWare.

When I left for Las Vegas on 8/16, it was **WORKING**. You committed a
change
that BROKE it again.

Yes, I'm pissed.

UnixWare==SCO, but the Court fight has **NOTHING** to do with this issue.

Does the PG core not care anymore about **QUALITY**?

I'm NOT going to stand idly by as the SCO/IBM/RED HAT Legal issues are used
to
hurt PostgreSQL's quality.

I'm NOT very pleased.
