jdbc problem with multiple connections

Hi,
I am opening 3 different database connection all calling the same method, which returns a
Connection or throws an Exception.

The first 2 attempts connections work fine, the third fails with a
ClassNotFoundException for org.postgresq.Driver. They are all using the
same org.postgresql.Driver.

Has anyone any suggestions as to why this might happen?

Postgres is running, accepting tcp connections on all hosts and
configured appropriately, no firewalls are in the way.

Cheers for any help,
Chris
