Ah yes. I regard it as desirable.

It means that it is necessary to unite each other machine time as notes in the case of 
running.
However, It is desirable to unify the version of Slony. Then, I think that it is 
satisfactory by
your environment...

Oh sorry, I made the mistake in guidance. Yes, It is xxid.dll.

Um, There was the before same report. However, The problem was not reproduced in the
environment of Dave with me. It was very strange. So, I wish to check one.
Here is a new version.
http://developer.pgadmin.org/~hiroshi/Slony-I/
And if a problem still reappears, please use this. (This is VC8 compile module)
http://developer.pgadmin.org/~hiroshi/Slony-I/slevent.dll
MinGW (GCC) will be suspected if it operates well.
