Hi Glyn,

This isn't really a bug, it's the enhanced security in PostgreSQL 8.4.
Basically, libpq (which pgAdmin uses to talk to the server) is trying
and failing to validate the SSL certificate that the server is using.
There needs to be a copy of the CA's root certificate on the client so
it can verify the server is who/what it claims to be.

I've reported the mixed slashes thing to the author of that code who
happens to on the other end of an IM client at the moment :-)
