Current CVS sources --- ie, 7.0RC1 plus or minus a little bit.  But as
far as I can tell from the CVS logs, not much has been done to libpq++
since 6.5; there's certainly nothing in the logs about fixing memory
leaks.  So I'd have expected 6.5 to behave the same.  Interesting.

AFAIR, my test program looked just like that except it specified a
database name --- new PgDatabase("dbname=regression") or some such.

I wonder if it could be platform- or configuration-specific.  What
options did you give to configure?
