PGAPI_DriverConnect fails if password contains semicolon

Hello,

we are using a call to SQLConnect in our app to connect via ODBC to our databases. A third party tool that is being
calledby our app is using SQLDriverConnect. 
If the user's password contains a ';' the connection with our app is still successful, but the connection with the
thirdparty tool fails. It seems that the password/DSN gets truncated at the semicolon in/for function
PGAPI_DriverConnect.

Backslashes in the password that aren't masked by a second backslash let the authentication fail in both psqlODBC
functions- regardless of the server's standard_conforming_strings setting. 

Check into this, please.

Thank you very much,
