For the record, there are sometimes changes in some configuration parameters 
from one PG version to another one that have lead to the following 
compatibility fix (for a very marginal use case) in GDAL recently :

http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/changeset/23651/trunk/gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/pg

(improved in 
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/changeset/23652/trunk/gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/pg to 
not be dependant from the PG version )
