No, and there wasn't anything special about the line it died on. The
comment

    /* Otherwise, start a new block. */
    block = (PGresult_data *) malloc(PGRESULT_DATA_BLOCKSIZE);

seems to suggest its a memory thing? It just happened to be one row too
many? But then, the file wasn't *that* big - compared to others that went
through OK..
