Great! That's very helpful validation.

Seen this too and noted.

Hmm. I'd hazard a guess and say that, given that the ctrl-c responds after a
new connection attempt, this is almost certainly due to the pgstat
APC/socket interaction bug, which I've "patched" in my sources [I'll make a
mental note to remove my patch and try to reproduce.]

Sorry, no idea on this. We have to reload the hba settings in each backend
under win32, but this happens well before the backend will try to
authenticate. If you can figure out a way to reproduce, please let us know.

Thanks for the reply,
