Doesn't work under Node.js 6.0.0

If we take the example on the main page:

var pg = require('pg');
var conString = "postgres://username:password@localhost/database";

//this initializes a connection pool
//it will keep idle connections open for a (configurable) 30 seconds
//and set a limit of 10 (also configurable)
pg.connect(conString, function(err, client, done) {
  if(err) {
    return console.error('error fetching client from pool', err);
  }
  client.query('SELECT $1::int AS number', ['1'], function(err, result) {
    //call `done()` to release the client back to the pool
    done();

    if(err) {
      return console.error('error running query', err);
    }
    console.log(result.rows[0].number);
    //output: 1
  });
});

And simply switch to Node.js 6.0.0, we are immediately getting an error:

i.e. authentication doesn’t work under the newly released Node.js 6.0.0

My Test environment:

• Windows 10, 64-bit
• Node.js 6.0.0 (released)
