Yeah, looks familiar. > the column typptrlen do not exist anymore in the table pg_type!!!

As this value cannot be determined anymore, it's IMO better to set it to -1 instead. This is what I've done in our alternative PostgreSQL interface, pyPgSQL (http://pypgsql.sf.net/) and what I've also suggested to D'Arcy. If I interpreted D'Arcy's response correctly, he's already fixed this bug in PostgreSQL CVS.
