This all sounds very wrong. Notices should be collected for display
somehow, but they should not affect the state of the query protocol
exchange --- ie, you should keep reading messages until you see a
termination condition ('Z' message, normally) regardless of notices.
Notices are not errors.
And you should definitely be prepared to accept multiple notices in
a query, and notices arriving at any time during a query.
