array. This allows processing of conninfo strings to be made thread-safe,
at the cost of a small memory leak in applications that use
PQconndefaults() and are not updated to free the returned array via
the new PQconninfoFree() function. But PQconndefaults() is probably not
used very much, so this seems like a good compromise.
database, but they get truncated at the first NUL by lo_read
when they are read back. The reason for this is that lo_read in
Pg.xs is using the default:
OUTPUT:
RETVAL
buf
which uses C's strlen() to work out the length of the scalar.
The code ought to read something more like:
OUTPUT:
RETVAL
buf sv_setpvn((SV*)ST(2), buf, RETVAL);
I am not sure if this needs to be done on both lo_read methods
in this file, but I changed both and have not since had any
problems with truncated BLOBs.

structs from libpq-fe.h, as we previously discussed.
There turned out to be sloppy coding practices in more places than
I had realized :-(, but all in all I think it was a well-worth-while
exercise.
I ended up adding several routines to libpq's API in order to respond
to application requirements that were exposed by this work. I owe the
docs crew updates for libpq.sgml to describe these changes. I'm way too
tired to work on the docs tonight, however.
This is the last major change I intend to submit for 6.4. I do want
to see if I can make libpgtcl work with Tcl 8.0 before we go final,
but hopefully that will be a minor bug fix.
