Do we still have locking problems with concurrent users of hash tables?

Hi all,

One of the things which the AS3AP benchmark does is have multiple users
access a table with hash indexes on it.

With the OSDB (Open Source Database Benchmark: http://osdb.sf.net) we've
found on PG 7.1 that multiple clients hitting a table using a hash index
generates locking problems.  I remember Tom mentioning that this is a
known thing, but I'm not sure if this has been fixed since then.

Does anyone have any ideas?  If not, would someone be willing to take
the time to fix it?

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
