We have an unusual problem with some perl code that is processing data via DBD facility. Basically, the code consists of various subroutines that are identified in a hash. The primary script then references the subroutines through a &$prog(...) syntax. What appears to happen is that all subroutines will run just fine if they do not need to do any deletes or updates to the database. Any subroutine that does a delete or update runs fine, but the subsequent routine fails with the following error:

prgcaphlg: FATAL:  invalid frontend message type 78
server closed the connection unexpectedly
        This probably means the server terminated abnormally
        before or while processing the request.

Searching google for 'invalid frontend message type 78' returns no hits, which is a scary thing.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
