OK - that might be a clue. The last version of pgAdmin shipped with
libpq.dll built in Visual C++, however, when we shipped it with the
Windows version of PostgreSQL in the pgInstaller package, we used the
Mingw build of libpq from PostgreSQL (future versions of pgAdmin will
also use the Mingw version).

If you check the libpq.dll's, you can tell the Mingw ones because they
will have version numbers stamped on them, whereas the old VC++ don't
iirc (if they do, they certainly shouldn't be 8.x). I'd be interested to
know if this is the cause.
