Ah, I have it: whoever wrote pg_GSS_read() failed to pay attention
to the fact that setting errno is a critical part of its API.
Sometimes it returns -1 while leaving errno in a state that causes
pqReadData to draw the wrong conclusions. In particular that can
happen when it reads an incomplete packet, and that's very timing
dependent, which is why this is so ticklish to reproduce.
I'll have a patch in a little while.
