We're currently printing the warning about connecting to the wrong version of
the server *before* syncing variables. On reconnecting this results in using
the *old* server version before reconnecting. I'm not sure what happens for
the initial connection but it can't be good. connection_warnings also uses
pset.db which isn't set until a few lines later too which can't be good.
e.g.
postgres=# \c
psql (8.4devel)
You are now connected to database "postgres".
postgres=# select version(); version
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------PostgreSQL 8.2.5 on
