You forgot to free(conn->connip) during freePGconn().

I found the UNKNOWN_HOST business quite dubious -- not only in your
patch but also in the existing coding.  I changed the getHostname API so
that instead of returning "???" it sets the output buffer to the empty
string.  AFAICS the only user-visible behavior is that we no longer
display the "???" in a parenthical comment next to the server address
when a connection fails (this is pre-existing behavior, not changed by
your patch.)

Now, maybe the thinking was that upon seeing this message:

could not connect to server: some error here
Is the server running on host "pg.mines-paristech.fr" (???) and accepting
connections on port 5432?

the user was going to think "oh, my machine must have run out of memory,
I'll reboot and retry".  However, I highly doubt that anybody would
reach that conclusion without reading the source code.  So I deem this
useless.

Subject: [PATCH] psql: Show IP address in \conninfo, if different from host

When hostaddr is given, the actual IP address that psql is connected to
can be totally unexpected for the given host.  The more verbose output
we now generate makes things clearer.  Since the "host" and "hostaddr"
parts of the conninfo could come from wildly different sources (say one
is in the service specification or a URI-style conninfo and the other is
not), this is useful.  This is also useful if a hostname resolves to
multiple addresses.
