Hi Michael,
I'll try and get a nice small pared-down source for you to play with that
demonstrates the problem. Once I get that, I could certainly try rc3,
although I was hoping to wait for the RPM...
John.

Could you please try rc3? I did fix some segfaults in the connect statement.
However, I'm not sure you hit the same bug, actually I expect it to be a
different one.

You can use the datatypes without informix mode. You just have to include
the pgtypes_*.h header files yourself.

I will try if you could send me an example to reproduce the problem. As you
said it does not happen on a small self written test case. Maybe you can
send me one of your source files stripped down to just connect.
