You *are* emulating EOF --- with that check in place, pqReadData
should respond to EPIPE just like it does to a normal EOF. I don't
understand why you aren't seeing the same results I do.
How exactly are you testing this? I'm doing it with a plain "kill"
on the connected backend process. If you were using "kill -9"
or some such, that'd explain it --- the backend doesn't have an
opportunity to send the "I'm shutting down" message in that case.
