I get a walkback and a debug console when trying
to run PostgreSQL test cases. I suspect a Socket problem.

I'm running the gamma1-basic image with a
Squeak 3.5.1/Tea 1.9 VM for Win32, on WinXP Pro.

Many tests appear to pass, as results scroll
by the Transcript. Then a walkback, and image is stuck.
The walkback is "Error: a primitive has failed".
A partial stack trace:
Delay class(Object)>>error:
Delay class(Object)>>primitiveFailed
Delay class>>primSignal:atMilliseconds:
Delay>>activate
[] in Delay class>>DoIt
[] in Semaphore>>critical:
BlockContext>>ensure:
Semaphore>>critical:
Delay class>>DoIt
...the rest is not visible, since the image is unresponsive,
but the window close button allows me to close without saving.

The debug console eventual pops up and has:
    WARNING: event buffer overflow
entries scrolling by as long as the mouse is in the project pane.

I loaded ANSI Compatibility and PostgreSQL Client from
SqueakMap, then changed the Socket calls in:

PGConnection>>next
PGConnection>>openSocket

to use #waitForDataFor: and #waitForConnectionFor:ifTimedOut:
respectively (instead of #waitForDataUntil:, #waitForConnectionUntil:).
I also changed the db connection parameters and set the
trace level.

Any ideas?
