:) Yes, I am aware.  In both cases (7.4.2 and 7.4.5) I used the
--enable-thread-safety flag and built from scratch.

You are aware that applying the patch to the PG sourcetree alone
isn't 
doing anything? You need to reconfigure with
--enable-thread-safety, 
recompile (make clean all) and reinstall PostgreSQL actually to
cause 
those changes to take place in the libpq. The "reconfigure" step
is the 
one most likely to be skipped in this procedure.
