Strange memory behaviour with PGreset() ...

Hi folks.  One of my co-workers came to me with a problem.  I took a
look, and it does seem to be a problem.  (But where?  That is why I'm
turning to you...)

The C code below serves as an example.  He is basically trying to
re-connect again to a "bad" database server.  The "server" at
192.168.0.1, port 35000 doesn't exist.

The compile line is:
$ gcc -Wall mem_test.c mem_test -lpq

This test was done on a SuSE 9.2 (or 9.3) machine, and reproduced on a
FC3 machine.

Postgres linked in, is a 7.4.7 on the SuSE machine, 7.4.8 on the FC3
machine.

Is there a bug in the code?  Are we assuming too much about the return
values of PQsetdbLogin?

Cheers,
