Only thing that comes to mind is that 'S' would be the server's first
response if the client requests an SSL-encrypted session. But that
would suggest that the DBI code is requesting an SSL session and then
not knowing what to do when it gets its wish. Which sounds awfully
broken of it.

Perhaps this is some sort of version mismatch? What PG version is the
server, and what DBD::Pg code are you using?

Also, you might be better off asking in pgsql-interfaces, where there's
a higher chance of finding someone who knows anything about DBI/DBD.
