[Pgpool-general] "server closed the connection unexpectedly" on sql syntax errors

[asaf at lingnu.com]

running pgpool-II (2.3.2), replication mode with 2 backends

when running  select * from testtable;
and the table does not exist, instead of getting:

"ERROR:  relation "testtable" does not exist"

i'm getting:

 "server closed the connection unexpectedly
        This probably means the server terminated abnormally
        before or while processing the request."
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Succeeded.

apart from that, everything works ok
