Hi!
Running pgagent 3.4.0 on Debian jessie with an SQL jobstep crashes the
worker thread with the error message
Caught unhandled unknown exception; terminating
Both job and jobstep status then remain as 'r' (running) until the
pgagent process quits. After restarting pgagent, which cleans up the
job status and sets it to 'd' (aborted), the job containing the SQL
jobstep is free to run again, but the next run will end up in the same
deadlock situation.
I have tracked down the problem to DBconn::GetLastError(), which gets
called after each SQL jobstep execution in Job::Execute(): there,
DBconn::GetLastError() throws an exception whenever the last error
message is empty.
The attached patch fixes this problem by adding missing bounds checks
to DBconn::GetLastError().
Thanks for the patch.
But - I was thinking about another fix for the same.
I used the wxString::Trim(trimRight=true) function in order to remove the white-spaces from the right side.

Do you think - above diff make sense?
If yes - I will commit the code.
