hi Guillaume/Rudolf

I'd like to add a comment or two to this that might help point the issue in a 
direction.


I've been using pgadmin 1.14 with postgres 9.1.1 for the past month or so and 
it has been working fine for me. (I use OSX 10.6.8)

then one day I could connect to the server, but going to the SQL window would 
hang on me.   I had no clue what was going on.   Simply hang and chew up a huge 
amount of CPU.  Eventually, if I didn't kill PGadmin, it would cause my machine 
to die a slow horrible death and I'd need to restart.


I tried reinstalling - still had issues.  
Finally, I went to  my home directory and deleted the .pgadmin_histoqueries 
file and PGadmin started to work.



The same thing happened again a couple of days later and I had to do the same 
thing, delete the  .pgadmin_histoqueries to get it to work again.



What was the difference that I got hurt only those two days.   Well, in those 
two days I was pasting in a lot of rather long stored procedures to the SQL 
window.   these procedures were about 300 lines each.

Once you've done 9 or 10 pastes of large functions (they are each saved in the 
histoquery file), then I'd see the issue.


In other words, the histoquery file was full of stored procedure code and not 
the typical small queries.


Clearing fixed it.     I did that a second time that day, clearing fixed it.    
I did it 2 days later, clearing fixed it.


I've only pasted a few large stored procedures in recently, but I've simply 
made it a practice to do some normal queries before I quit.



Not sure if those are the same symptoms, but its is how I made PGadmin fail 
opening the SQL browser.
