It is not clear at all from the PG's documentation when PGresultErrorField()
can and cannot return NULL. So we put the asserts to "learn more", so to
speak.

I have re-implemented the translate_error() function quite differently.
Can you copy the below error.cxx file into your libodb-pgsql, rebuild
it, and then let me know if everything works as expected in your tests?

And thanks for the report!
