Description:I noticed that in cdr_pgsql.c the reload() function calls my_unload_module() followed by my_load_module().  However, neither of these functions acquires the lock "pgsql_lock" before releasing the global database connection handle.  This spells disaster if a thread is running through pgsql_log() when a reload takes place.

I propose adding a lock/unlock in reload().

****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ******

Submitted is a patch (cdr_pgsql.diff) for the proposed modification on cdr_pgsql.c  for Asterisk 1.4.5.

I don't have easy access to a fax machine, so this will probably not get done.  Anyway, you don't need to use my patch... it's not exactly revolutionary, a lock and an unlock on the mutex, 2 lines of code.  Same goes for the other bug, 3 lines of code.

Fixed in svn branches 1.4 and trunk in revisions 70554 and 70555.
