Re: Patch to remove connection hook and JDK 1.3 dependencies

If you shutdown the JVM without closing your connections this is the
behavior I would expect in to see in that case. Your code should be
closing any open connections to the database before exiting.

This same behavior can be seen in psql as well. If psql exits
unexpectedly (i.e. you kill a psql process) you will get the same
'unexpected EOF...' message on the server.
