Urgh. To be honest, I can't see any need to copy that string at all in
there, so the limit is entirely unwarranted. In addition, there's code
in there marked #ifndef USE_LIBPQ (in LIBPQ_Execute!!), and, it sets the
rowcount to -1 if it can't find a space in the SQL query!
I've tidied that up - patch attached. Please let me know how it goes.
