Hello all,

Has anyone out there done anything about tidying up the libpq frontend stuff -
it seems to leak memory like a sieve.

We have been using Postgres as a backend engine to service Web Publishing for
almost a year now but the latest caching version requires us to have a
daemon processing database queries.  At the moment each request will lose
8K or so.

Problem areas seem to be in:

pq_connect() - Connection and Port structures.
pq_global_init() - Environment Variables.

but there may be more ?

Any or all suggestions welcome.

Alan Byrne.
