Hi - there is a problem with PQescapeBytea for Win32. Since libpq is a DLL, 
all memory allocated from within the DLL needs to be freed from within the 
dll.

PQescapeBytea allocates memory, but there is no function call back into the 
DLL to free this memory. This causes heap corruption when the main program 
tries to free the memory itself. The alternative is to just leak the memory 
and never free it. Also bad....
