Are you sure that's exactly where and why it occurs?  I can't think of
any reason why libpq++ should care whether you use "PgDatabase Foo;" or
"PgDatabase *Bar = new PgDatabase;" - so could you post some minimal 
code sample that produces the problem?

(Gratuitous plug: you may also want to look at libpqxx, the more modern
replacement for libp++: http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/libpqxx/ )
