At a guess, PHPWiki is using persistent connections to PG, so you'll get one

Thanks for the info. That may well be the problem.
Alternatively, a small change in PHPWiki's code should clear it too (start
with a search for pg_pconnect and try pg_connect instead).
Will do.
It's perfectly safe to leave the idle connections there - they won't take up
much in the way of resources.
How about when one needs to reload to read new postgresql.conf files. Will
iddle connections prevent the server from reloading?
Also, in the future if other programs do the same, is it safe to kill
these and if so what is the best way? kill command?
