Bug reference: 1558
Logged by: Cade Cairns
Email address: cadec (AT) otii (DOT) com
PostgreSQL version: 8.0.1
Operating system: MacOSX 10.3.8
Description: memory leak in libpq connectDBStart()
Details:

The leak occurs when libpq can not establish a connection to the database
server, in my case when it is not running. I believe that when a caller
calls PQreset() or PQresetStart(), the subsequent call to connectDBStart()
clobbers the previous value of addrlist in the PGconn. Presumably,
closePGconn() should be destroying this value.

I will post a patch in a few days. I am extremely busy and don't have
adequate time. I apologize for not having posted more in the first
place.

Any more information on this?
