I have CVS write access so why not create a branch? Any objections?

I meant the ability for a backend to behave safely when executing in
several different threads. No to mention that thread safeness could be
useful in the future, but for saned porting - it does fork() to handle
client connection and when we will convert in to pthread_create() we
need to be sure that such process is safe.
