Summary: More unexpected version checks

Initial Comment:
The version of PostgreSQL that I checked out of CVS reports its 
minor version as xbetay, instead of xby.  This of course, makes the 
version string parser barf as per previous bugs.

I have included a simple patch to deal with the new version string, 
but is it really the right thing to throw an exception making a 
connection because we can't parse the version string as well as 
we'd like to?  I will work up a more involved patch in the near future 
to maybe display some sort of warning, but it's pretty annoying to not 
even be able to connect to my database because the server decides 
to toss us a weird version string.

I also fixed the typo of "Ivalid". :-)
