When you say "the Pg library" do you mean libpq? PgODBC? The PostGreSQL
server (postgres.exe)?

If you mean libpq or PgODBC, how did you determine that it was the
culprit of the crash? Do you have a test case or simplified demo program
showing the crash? Do you have a backtrace?

If it's actually postgres.exe not a library that crashes, when exactly
does it crash? What is shown in the server log? Can you try to get a
backtrace using the instructions here:
