According to the webcvs branch Rel-1_42 includes revision 1.31 of qoute.c 
which should be ok. So I suppose that 1.42 and earlier version don't 
suffer from this bug.

Well, I think yes it does. DBD::Pg just sends some garbage in SQL 
statement.

I don't know. There seems to be no published roadmap on the site or in the 
mailing list. All I can tell is that the fix for this bug was commited on 
Aug, 9th (rev. 1.35 of qoute.c). You can ask on their list 
(http://gborg.postgresql.org/mailman/listinfo/dbdpg-general) for more 
information.
