Hi All,

We have an intermittent problem where PQexec does not seem to return even though the server seems to have sent the results.

From the gdb output , the sql statement can be seen, and from the log, the result can be seen to be sent. Both process are running on the same machine. Version of postgres and other info:

1. Postgres Version 8.1.4 2. Machine HP rx4640
  3. OS: HPUX 11.23
4. Mem 8G

Has anyone seen this type of problem before, can it be cause by a TCP/IP communication failure?
