Well, thank *you* for running the stresstests.
Doing comprehensive stresstests/unittests for database(drivers) is hard,
especially if threading/races are involved.  I'd love to have added unittests
to the Pike repository, but alas, without an available database, it's of no
use to write those.

It should be possible to write a synthesised self-contained unittest for this
that has a high probability of triggering the race conflict (not using the
pgsql driver).  And no, I'm not volunteering to do that at the moment.
