Hi Guilers,

Is anyone familiar with the internals of guile-pg (version 0.16, author
Ian Grant) which wraps PostgreSQL's libpq?

I'm getting a lot of 'broken pipe' errors of the sort:

 Feb 23 11:32:13 stderr: ERROR: In procedure pg-connectdb:
 Feb 23 11:32:13 stderr: ERROR: could not send startup packet: Broken pipe

It's especially bad at times of light load (rather than no load) and I
never once noticed this error whilst the webapp was in development
(i.e., I was the only person using it) which suggests to me that it's
happening whenever two or more page requests call scripts that attempt
to open database connections more or less at the same time.

All my calls to pg-connectdb are let bound so database connections are
(supposed to be) closed after every query.

Any advice very much appreciated.  I've attached a log extract to give
you an idea of the frequency of failures.  I need to find a solution to
this problem fast!

Seb

P.S. Perhaps upgrading guile-pg is the first thing I should try? IIRC
     there's a more recent pkgsrc version (which is guile 1.8
     comaptible) somewhere... hunting for it now.
