A fix has been done during GDAL 1.8.0 developement to fully support PostgreSQL 
9.0 (*). Previous versions could probably work in most cases that did not 
involved retrieving binary data (such as ST_AsBinary() requests), which was 
the only source of incompatibility due to a change of the default format in 
PostgreSQL 9.0. But upgrading to 1.8.x might be safer if not already done.
