title: PG::ConnectionBad: PQconsumeInput() SSL error: internal error
body: <p>When working on my app locally using thin and ssl (<code>thin start --ssl</code>), I randomly get this error message every 5/10 requests. </p>
  
  <pre><code>PG::ConnectionBad: PQconsumeInput() SSL error: internal error
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Usually I relaunch the query and it goes well, but it is a pain to having to refresh and being constantly interupted by this not understandable bug.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the full stacktrace:</p>
  
  <pre><code>PG::ConnectionBad: PQconsumeInput() SSL error: internal error
  : SELECT  "users".* FROM "users"  WHERE "users"."id" = 1 LIMIT 1
  Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 3.6ms
  
  ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid - PG::ConnectionBad: PQconsumeInput() SSL error: internal error
