Hrm.  Didn't seem to help.

I did have a few different libpq's on the testing VMs we have set up, so I
removed them all.  Now, find / -name '*libpq*' (as root) only finds the
instance that has been installed with thread safety.

I even tried using --enable-thread-safety-force (and then, as per postres's
configure instructions, testing for thread safety with the binary in
src/test/thread/, which came back saying the system was thread safe).  Still
no luck.

I'm using the following flags for slony's ./configure script:
--prefix=/usr/local/pgsql/ --with-pgbindir=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/
--with-pglibdir=/usr/local/pgsql/lib/

Do I need anything more than that?
