I assume you mean PQunixsocket. As part of the database connection, if
pghost begins with a slash, the value is assigned to pgunixsocket and
pghost is cleared. Here is the code:

/* ----------
* Allow unix socket specification in the host name
* ----------
*/
if (conn->pghost && conn->pghost[0] == '/')
{
if (conn->pgunixsocket)
free(conn->pgunixsocket);
conn->pgunixsocket = conn->pghost;
conn->pghost = NULL;
}

Am I handling this properly? I hate to be dragging around the unix
socket directory name in pghost for too long and hate to be propogating
the slash test throughout the code.
