Definitly - that error msg showing up in the web app really doesn't make
sense. However, are we sure that the error message is *exactly* the
same, word for word, or is it possible that it's just "the same in what
it says" but with different words? I assume there are screendumps to
verify this ;-)

Another point that at least I don't know - what kind of connection pool
is it? Is it an external one (like pgpool) to which the java app
connects (using FE/BE protocol, emulating a "proper postmaster" but
pooling access to the database), or is it running inside the app server
(like for example .net connection pooling does, which simply means that
when you run the Open() method on the connection object it will pick
something off an *internal* pool)?
