Meh.  That doesn't silence only the zero-bytes case, and I'm also
rather afraid of the fact that it's changing COMMERROR to something
else.  I wonder whether (if client_min_messages <= DEBUG1) it could
result in trying to send the error message to the already-lost
connection.  It might be that that can't happen, but I think a fair
amount of rather subtle (and breakable) analysis may be needed.
