They are both fine, I can see the error is during a rollback, in the
Python API call that queries whether there is a Python exception set.
Just... it doesn't make sense: the only way that function may bomb, I
think, is when we call it without holding the GIL, and it is actually
acquired the line above.

Reading again you original post: you connect from the children and the
parent crashes? I think I'm reading it wrong... Also, what do you mean
that "you have added a connection": the app was already using psycopg
and you are now connecting to a new database too?

Ritual questions: what psycopg, postgres and python versions are?

Are you using any "magic": greenlet, signals, threads, apart from processing?

The rollback issued looks called from Python, not internally. Does
your program call conn.rollback() in some strange situation, such as
in an object __del__ or at application cleanup?

A last useful piece of info: could you compile psycopg with debug info
on (see setup.cfg) and run it with the info (set the env var
PSYCOPG_DEBUG before running the program)? We may find something in
the logs.

Thank you.
