0001 Problem:
0002
0003 Even if PostgreSQL is configured with `-enable-thread-safety` option and
0004 PQisthreadsafe() returns 1, when two (or more) threads attempt to open database
0005 connection in parallel _libpq_ library causes a crash on Windows.
0006
0007 Investigation:
0008
0009 The crash is caused precisely by call to libpq_gettext() in pqWaitTimed()
0010 function (file: `fe-misc.c`). It comes out that _gettext_ functions are not
0011 thread-safe on Windows, thus all other pieces of code, where gettext has been
0012 used may be affected.
0013
0014 Workaround:
0015
0016 A workaround is to disable NLS (native language support), which effectively
0017 turns off _gettext_.
