idle in transaction problem

Hi all,

i have a problem with some connections in "idle in transaction" state,
wich indicates some transactions not beeing properly closed.

I followed the mailing list and read that this bug should be fixed in
the newer jdbc driver versions. But i tried out several newer driver
versions.
And now I used the newest one 8.3devel (build 600) and still have this
problem.

What's abound this information from the year in 2004?
http://jdbc.postgresql.org/changes.html#version_dev302

"Track transaction status and only issue a BEGIN command on the first
statement executed, not immediately after the previous commit or
rollback. This should help the long standing, but recently very
unpopular "idle in transaction" behavior. (jurka)"

The postgres server runs with version 8.1.4

The postgres jdbc debugging shows that the transaction will use BEGIN
but no COMMIT:

For me this is still a bug, isn't it?
