Apologies if I missed anything, but I thought I fixed any callers of
PQmakeEmptyPQresult that weren't already checking (parseInput and
getRowDescriptions were the only ones).
I of course can't fix any applications I don't have the source for, but
if I missed something in libpq, I'd be more than happy to go back and
try to fix it.
