The traceback says that the leak is in libresolv, not libpq. I'm not
sure it's really a leak at all --- I'd expect libresolv to do some
internal caching, and this looks like it could be data that's just being
held onto for possible reuse. But in any case you want to file this
report with somebody else.

That's a good theory. I will definitely check it out.
I appreciate you looking into this Tom.

The bugs list is archived, yes, not to mention propagated onto
newsgroups. You should probably have thought before posting.

You could perhaps get Marc to remove it from the archives but that's
not going to cause all the copies to go away.

TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster

Tom, I am not sure if my original message made it onto a forum or
knowledge base but I was wondering if it would be possible for you to
take it down if it is? There may potentially be some sensitive
information in it.
Thanks
