My reading of this is that previously a PQgetCopyData() operation would
fail mysteriously because of
i) a reload of postgresql.conf, following the setting of any of the
following parameters client_encoding, DateStyle, TimeZone, and
standard_conforming_strings.
ii) any previous LISTEN command on the session running the COPY
Would that be correct? Did I miss anything?
