I would also really like to see this fixed. Unfortunately, I haven't
been able to replicate; I followed Michael's (very nicely written)
writeup and didn't see the issues that Michael did. The only thing I
know about the problem is that it logs:

> psql: lost synchronization with server: got message type "S", length 22

which unfortunately could be a great many things. I've said this a
couple times now, but I really do need more information - a traffic
dump, a list of commands that were run, etc.; unfortunately, the surface
here is pretty large, and while I totally am willing to believe there
are bugs in the code I've written, I do not yet see them.
