Hi, I found the cause.

Segfault comes from the following lines.
[ecpg/test/connect/test1.pgc]
exec sql connect to tcp:postgresql://localhost/ user connectdb;
exec sql disconnect;

-> ECPGdisconnect()
-> ecpg_finish()
-> ecpg_log("ecpg_finish: connection %s closed\n", act->name);
<HERE> -> vfprintf(debugstream, fmt, ap);

Actual error occurs in vfprintf() because act->name can be NULL.
sprintf(..., "%s", NULL) could work on some platform (the result is '(null)'),
but it crashes on Windows (msvcrt). We need to avoid passing NULLs as
arguments to "%s" format for printf families.

The attached patch fixes the segfault. Regression tests can finish
successfully but there is still a difference. The diff seems to be
trivial and come from error message changes.
