Peter, did you ever get around to ensuring a closed connection when a
Connection object is finalised? I've just hit the problem again, with
Postgres dying of too many open connections. I thought I'd fixed it on
my client code by always closing the Connections before they go out of
scope, but evidently not, one is hiding somewhere taking about a
fortnight to happen enough to kill Postgres, and it's going to be a
bitch to track down - and I really can't see the harm in the connection
being closed on finalise.
