Hi All,

I have a question about libpq and multi-threading.

In the PostgreSQL documentation (
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/libpq-threading.html) it says that
results can be passed around freely between threads. However, when I try to
read the result from the parent thread, the program crashes with a
segmentation fault.

I have already tried to set the PostgreSQL 'dynamic_shared_memory_type'
configuration option to 'mmap', but this does not help.

Am I doing something wrong? How can I make libpq use mmap to allocate
memory that *can* be read from the parent thread?

Best regards,
Mischa Baars.
