+1 for the first patch. I'm less happy with
- static char errbuf[36];
+ static char errbuf[128];
As a minor point, shouldn't this be
+ static char errbuf[PG_STRERROR_R_BUFLEN];
But the bigger issue is that the use of a static buffer makes
this not thread-safe, so having it use strerror_r to fill that
buffer is just putting lipstick on a pig. If we really want
to make this thread-ready, we need to adopt the approach used
in libpq's fe-secure-openssl.c, where callers have to free the
buffer later. Or maybe we could just palloc the result, and
trust that it's not in a long-lived context?
