The database is hosted on
Linux (host) 2.6.9-22.ELsmp #1 SMP (date) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The remote client is running on
FreeBSD (host) 4.11-20060316 FreeBSD 4.11-20060316 #0: (date) (src) i386

The config.h "pread" bits:

/* Define to the version of this package. */
#define PACKAGE_VERSION "0.9.6"

/* explicit prototype needed for pread (if any) */
/* #undef PREAD_PROTOTYPE */

/* explicit prototype needed for pwrite (if any) */
/* #undef PWRITE_PROTOTYPE */
