It happens to me when I call PQconnectdb() function. Is that I call it too much at a time? System could not handle the bursty TCP/IP traffic or anything else? Packet loss?? :-( Client Env.: Redhat 7.2 libPQ comes from PostgreSQL 7.3 Server Env.: Redhat 7.2 Postgresql 7.3 (Ethernet Lan connected.) Thanks a lot. regards, Frankie
