This is Fedora Core 3 1.3.6-2 RPM.

Well, this is not actually my code (I never call any krb5 functions from code).
It is whatever PostgreSQL 7.4.6 does when it closes the connection. So, I
honestly wouldn't know.

OK. I'll run the whole thing inside gdb and I'll also make sure I have debugging
symbols installed. This should give you a clearer picture where things are going
wrong. It may take a few days for me to do that due to some other stuff I'm
working on.
