Can't reproduce this with current sources:
template1=# drop database xxx;
DROP DATABASE
template1=# create database xxx;
CREATE DATABASE
template1=# \c xxx;
FATAL 1: Database "xxx;" does not exist in the system catalog.
Previous connection kept
template1=# \c xxx
You are now connected to database xxx.
xxx=#
It's possible that 7.0.* psql has some since-repaired bug when trying
to \c to a nonexistent database name --- Peter, do you recall anything
like that?
