I think you're miscomputing the length of the Parse message, or maybe emitting the wrong amount of data as part of the message, such that the server isn't lined up to see the 'H' as the next byte after it's consumed the Parse. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
