Perhaps, we could discuss about that on a separate thread.  For now I
have gone with the simplest approach of counting the items, and
stopping the count if there are more items than jobs.  While reviewing
I have found a double-free in your patch when building a list of
relations for schemas or databases.  If the list finishes empty,
PQfinish() was called twice on the connection, leading to a crash.  I
have added a test for that, done an extra pass on the patch adjusting
a couple of things then committed the patch with the restriction on
--index and --jobs.  This entry is now marked as committed in the CF
app.
