There is a function in libpq (which libpq++ is built on top of), called
PQreset(). Unless I'm mistaken, libpq++ doesn't currently expose this
in its API (the alternative libpqxx currently makes it a private method,
see my home page below).

There's a brief description of PQreset() at:

http://www.us.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/7.2/postgres/libpq-connect.html

I have no idea whether resetting the connection will solve your problem
though. Going by the docs, the function is there mainly to let you
recover broken connections.
