Aren't black-box apps fun? You might get some insight from looking into
the postmaster log to see what error the database thinks it's throwing.
Perhaps also turn on "log_statement = all" to record full details of
what SQL commands the app is sending.

Also, as I recall, the pgsql-odbc driver has some ability to do client-side
query tracing. I'm not familiar with the details of that though.
