An update on this issue: PostgreSQL developers are not convinced that
the issue was caused by the PQgetResult loop and that the pattern we
use in psycopg is sane - at least as sane as many other programs using
libpq and for which no bug has been reported about such loop
<http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-docs/2010-08/msg00007.php>.

Marko, I think we should look for the cause of the infinite close()
loop elsewhere.
