No, this is a 2-node setup, and this is the first (and only) slon started up 
anywhere, and it is on the master node.  The 8 pids are sequential.  
Interesting, my linux laptop shows no threads (2.4.20-30.9), while this 
linux box shows them all as processes.

Regardless, 1.0.5 works great so far (limited testing) on ia64 hpux b.11.23 
with pg 7.4.5.  This setup is replicating from 7.3.4 on linux to 7.4.5 on 
b.11.23.  Thanks!
