Once you run this program, you will see "." being printed on the console.
If you intentionally kill the postgres process instance, you will see the following output.
connected
Sent sleepquery....
........still invalid connection after PQreset
Sent sleepquery....
...................
You will see "still invalid connection after PQreset".
For synchronous command (PQExec), PQreset works fine. However for asynchronous command like PQsendQueryParams, PQreset doesn't seem to work. I had to sleep a few seconds and then run PQreset again.
Anyone running into this problem?
