I cc'ed the mail to pgsql-hackers(at)postgreSQL(dot)org, pgsql-ports(at)postgreSQL(dot)org

Great. What we did as bugfix in our importer program is to close and reopen
the connection to the backend each 1000 rows. This is very ugly but seems to
work until someone with the backend-knowlege has fixed the bug.

debugged that beast for many hours...
