1. New ecgp code problem.

   Hi All,
   
   I'm getting a SEGV error when testing ecpg using the perftest,or
   any other, example program.
   
   I have tracked this down to a call to PQfinish() in ECPGfinish()
   that occurs before any connection is established.
   
   bool
   ECPGfinish()
   {
           if (simple_connection != NULL)
           {
                   ECPGlog("ECPGfinish: finishing.\n");
                   PQfinish(simple_connection);
           }
           else
                   ECPGlog("ECPGfinish: called an extra time.\n");
           return true;
   }                  
   
   A test is made here for simple_connection != NULL.
   
   If I apply the following patch all is OK.
   
   Keith.

   Thanks. It's already in CVS it seems. Are you able to execute programs
   against v6.3? I cannot even create a user so I only can test my changes my
   manually inspecting the C file right now.
