Are you using an SSL-encrypted connection? Some versions of libpq could
create this failure with SSL. Unfortunately, the first version that
really works *reliably* with SSL is not yet released :-( ... 7.3.2
through 7.3.4 misbehave even worse than the 7.3 or 7.3.1 libpq you
appear to be using. I believe that the problems are finally fixed as of
CVS tip, but I do not know when or whether there will be a 7.3.5.
Instead of waiting, your best bet might be to pull the tip of the
REL7_3_STABLE branch from our CVS server (see
http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/cvs.html) and build libpq
from it.

Or, don't use SSL ...
