I admit to blissful ignorance of the source code (so far  ;-).

It doesn't check for  slave  backend activity?  Or is slave backend activity
completely independent of the master backend?

I would have thought it checked slave backends and that they weren't
independent/autonomous.  Sounds like an opportunity! (or is that still
called an undocumented feature?)

Craig.
