Can you generate a testcase which does not use postgres? It should be possible with just stdio.file/stdio.buffer, right? It could also be a kernel bug...
Well, to be honest, (so far) I didn't try. Bugs in threading are the archetypical Heisenbugs. I couldn't predict why/when the bug happened, so it's difficult to reduce it to a simpler testcase. Did you (or anyone else) see the detailed bugreport I mailed to pike-devel ?
But, since I seem to be only one seeing it, I'll take a stab at it (just not today).
