This sounds suspiciously like the glibc 2.0.x dynamic load bug that has
plagued AOLserver -- this shouldn't show up under a glibc 2.1-based
system if that is the case.  The solution?  Upgrade to glibc 2.1.x, or
edit the makefile for libpgtcl.so to statically link in libpq.a. -- I
think a great deal of effort was expended for 6.5.1 for dynamically
linking all the libs (which is why the 6.4.2 libpgtcl.so is so much
bigger than 6.5.1's).
