Curiously, I see no core dump here:

$ cat zscript
\connect - testuser
$ psql -f zscript regression
psql:zscript:1: \connect: FATAL 1: user "testuser" does not exist
$

Nonetheless, the comment at the top of do_connect() says that it
*should* terminate the program under these circumstances, so I'm not
sure why it doesn't. Peter?
