If I'm not mistaken, a particular bug related to 
incorrect behavior when attempts to use more than
the configured number of clients (hardwired at
compile time) was recently fixed and will show
up soon.  I recall some discussion of problems
with huge numbers of clients on the developers
list.

Did you try the version that was just released a
couple of weeks ago, or the previous beta version
of 6.5?

Despite the fact that I'm using Postgres for a personal
web site I'm working on, IMO anyone doing serious commercial
work ought to break down and pay for a commercial DB.

Or use the no-cost Sybase release for Linux.
