This also happens with Postgresql 7.4. under SUSE Linux 9.1 (kernel
2.6.4-52) The last version for which embedded SQL worked well for me
was 7.3. The same source which worked fine under 7.3 for many months
stopped working with my switch to 7.4.2. :-(
And it not only happens during connect, but also during a select. It is
very difficult to debug, since often the stack is destroyed and a
backtrace in gdb does not work. From what I can see it is always
related to calls of malloc/free/realloc issued by libpq.
