Yeah.  I'm really, really, *really* sorry for submitting it in the state
it was in.  I shouldn't have done that just before moving to another
country.  I found the problem last night, but couldn't get to a Net
connection until now.

The problem is in src/bin/psql/common.c, around line 250-335 somewhere
depending on the version.  The 2nd and 3rd clauses of the "while" loop
condition:

        (rstatus == PGRES_COPY_IN) &&
        (rstatus == PGRES_COPY_OUT))

should of course be:

        (rstatus != PGRES_COPY_IN) &&
        (rstatus != PGRES_COPY_OUT))
