I can verify this locally. Unfortunately, my copy of valgrind doesn't
seem to be picking up the debugging symbols for OpenSSL, which makes
it difficult to track down if this is a fault in OpenSSL or libpq.

If someone else wants to tackle this, go ahead -- my plate is full
until around December 10th. Otherwise I'll look into it then.
