I am choosing the product by using customize-variable, so the value is
'postgres as symbol.

The same problem I have observed before 4 weeks, but I do not observe
it now. The problem was there when I click with the mouse on SQL menu
item, before the menu item even opens.

I can see that I re-factored the settings and hard-coded it to:

(setq sql-product (quote postgres))

I cannot reproduce it. I don't know why, and I don't see any log of
changes in the git repository. It happened by rule when I clicked on
the "SQL"menu.
