Strange. Your code looks fine by eye, and just to be sure I
copied-and-pasted it and ran it here. No problems.
A couple of theories that could maybe account for the facts are
(1) corrupted copy of libpq.dll ... where did you get that from?
(2) somewhere earlier in your program, there are macro definitions
causing misinterpretation of rows/cols/PQgetvalue.
PQgetvalue does range-check its arguments, so it's hard to see how it
could crash internally, but maybe somehow it's handing back a NULL and
that's crashing printf?
Another idea is that if PQgetvalue does somehow think the arguments
are out of range, it will try to print a warning to stderr, and
I'v heard of that crashing on Windows. We'd still be left trying
to explain why it thinks the arguments are out of range, but that
would narrow down the problem.
Can you get a stack trace to identify exactly where the crash is?
