The error message:

The password is not being stored correctly in the PGconn object when
connecting with a connection string.

Yeah, the current code is definitely broken for this case. However, I don't feel like this patch is quite there yet, either. _connectDB has similar logic in it which might be hit in case e.g. a a user's HBA is changed from a non-password-requiring method to a password-requiring one after the one or more connections has been initiated. That one needs changing as well.

However, I don't quite like the way the password cache is kept up to date in the old *or* the new code. It seems to me that it should instead look like:

   if (PQconnectionUsedPassword(AH->connection))
       AH->savedPassword = PQpass(AH->connection);

What do you think?
