Thanks! I’ve patched the library to print all outgoing messages and indeed it seems one with 0x58 is sent just before
theconnection is closed. Printing a stack trace over there reveals that the pool code thinks the connection is idle and
closesit. I’ll submit a bug report in the node-postgres library.
Thanks for the help!
