Given that anole is the only one reporting this, I'm not sure that we
should immediately blame Postgres itself. I have a vague recollection
that we've seen this symptom before and traced it to a bug in some
supporting library. Is anole using any particularly out-of-date versions
of openssl, kerberos, etc?
