Okay, I've found the problem.  When the connection fails, psql momentarily
runs without a valid database connection.  When it does that, the
multibyte encoding has the invalid value -1.  (You need to compile with
multibyte enabled to reproduce this.)  With that value, PQmblen() has
trouble when it parses the next line.  Perhaps PQmblen() should simply
return 1 when it is passed an invalid encoding.  In any case it should do
better than dump core.
