Um, PGresult? These errors occur on connection, so it needs to go in PGconn.

I guess the easy way would be to just append the error reports with a \n
between them. I think it would be good to keep both error messages in
*all* cases. If the second connection succeeds, you will not get the
error condition anyway, and thus not look at the error message from the
first one.
