I'm currently running pgpool-3.2.1 on Linux-x86_64.  Back in August I
reported a bug related to packet lengths:

which was later reported as fixed in 3.2.1.  Earlier today, I'm seeing
the following in my pgpool log:
2012-10-24 11:25:27 ERROR: pid 13179: read_startup_packet: incorrect
packet length (455421229)

2012-10-24 11:26:10 ERROR: pid 19934: read_startup_packet: incorrect

Is the bug fix intended to eliminate only the 'out of memory'
condition, or should the errors be eliminated as well?
