pg_pconnect - ??

Hi all,

I am under the assumtion that, when I do a pg_pconnect instead of a
pg_connect, the connection to the db I have established, can be used
by another PHP procedure. Somehow, I don't see this working the way I
expect it.
When I initially connect with pconnect, I see a postgres session
staring up and everything works. The postgres process stays active
but when I pconnect again, a second process is started. I was
expecting that the same process from the first pconnect will be used.
At the end, I land up with a whole bunch of postgres client sessions
hanging around in the system, doing who knows what.

What am I missing (doing wrong) here?
Postgres = 7.1.3, OS = Linux 2.4.9 (RedHat 7.2), PHP = 4.0.6, Apache
= 1.3.22, memory = plenty (768 MB)

Best regards,
Chris
