Seems that during an interactive transaction at the psql prompt
any syntax error will cause the following state to be entered

NOTICE:  current transaction is aborted, queries ignored until end of 
transaction block
*ABORT STATE*      

This is a bit annoying since it reared up near the end of a long and complex 
data manipulation session.  I don't want to be at all pushy (just about 
anything else is probably higher priority) and stress that Its not a big 
problem but I was wondering why this occurs, and if it is on the todo list to 
fix.                                    

here is a sample

gbtest=> begin;
BEGIN
gbtest=> select * fro pg_trigger;
ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near "fro"
gbtest=> select * from pg_trigger;
NOTICE:  current transaction is aborted, queries ignored until end of 
transaction block
*ABORT STATE*
gbtest=> rollback;
