pgsql running on port 5480, connect to template1 as non-superuser "phppgadmin"
who does not have createdb privileges. attempt to run a script that creates a
database "phppgadmin" and then do a \connect to that database.   this fails
(as it should) but when it does, it loses the connection to template1, and i
am not able to reconnect to any database, i think because it is looking on
port 5432 rather than the 5480 i specified when i originally connected.

postgres@phppgadmin:/usr/local/pgsql-8.0.0beta-4/bin$ ./psql -p5480 template1

relativily minor issue, but seems like it should either be able to retain the
connection when inside the script, or recall that it needs to connect on 5480
after failure.
