Thanks for committing the patch!

The patch was back-patched to v13, but v13 release note still has the following item.

     Tighten libpq's overlength-line handling and comment detection for .pgpass files (Fujii Masao)

This should be changed to the following or something?

     Teach libpq to handle arbitrary-length lines in .pgpass files (Tom Lane)
