petdance/scratch — Issue #308: Segmentation fault when calling .finish on unopend postgres connection
Author: petdance

```
.HLL 'perl6'
.sub main :main
load_bytecode 'Pg.pir'
$P0 = new 'Pg'
$P1 = $P0.'connectdb'('username=fantasy password=values')
$I0 = $P1.'status'()
say $I0
$P1.'finish'()
.end
```

The fantasy connection parameters cause the connect to fail, and then calling the finish method results in hilarity:

```
