Hi,

I think I'm using the psql-odbc driver hand-patched with
IPD_free_params() commented out, like you said, and it works
fine for us.

Isnt' this already merged into the git repository?
I thought it sounded pretty obvious at the time when I found it,
didn't bother to check afterwards...

greets,
Oliver
