LISTEN/NOTIFY problem

I've got a weird problem with LISTEN/NOTIFY.

My C++ app subscribes for the notifications, just like in libpq examples:

The only difference, that I am setting the timeout on select just to check if application wants to exit.

//open session

//subscribe

while(!exit)

{

    sock = PGsocket(conn)

     

    res = select(sock);

    if (res)

   //check if it timeout

   //or if there was a notification

}

The problem that I am facing is that after some time notifications stop coming.

select() returns on timeout and nothing else.

Just as a test a included UNLISTEN/LISTEN sequence into the loop, so after timeout or event application re-subscribes. And this helps.

The question is, what I am doing wrong with the code in the first place?

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,

Dmitri.
