Well, maybe you've found an actual bug then; but without a test case that other people can poke at, it's hard to investigate. > The only thing I can think of right now, is that we are running a > Postgres 8.3 on Debian Etch (so a backported debian package), whereas > the libraries linked into our application are older library version > (libpq4 and libpqxx 2.6.8). Older libpq versions should work fine with an 8.3 server --- if they don't, that's a bug in itself. I do not know the status of libpqxx though; you might want to check whether there are known bugs in that version. 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
