Re: Inserting/updating large text fields w/libpq -- Please ignore

Verdict: really dumb.  Directly after posting, I dove into the 7.1.3 code,
curious about the details.  Not finding any such error ("query .. too long"),
it was obviously a link problem.  Sure enough, old, system RedHat libs.
Lots of testing with the right libs & huge input does fine.

Sorry folks.  Please ignore.
