error during administration: zero-length string

[Johann Vincent Paul Tagle]

I just installed Freeside 1.4.0 using Apache::ASP version 2.49 and
Postgresql version 7.3.1.  When I start the configuration (Click "Add a
new service definition), I get this on my browser:

Errors Output 
Error executing "SELECT * FROM part_svc_column WHERE ( svcpart IS NULL
OR svcpart = '' ) AND columnname = ?": ERROR: pg_atoi: zero-length
string at /usr/local/apache/htdocs/aspdocs/edit/part_svc.cgi line 173 ,
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Apache/ASP.pm line 1489 

The shell where I run postgresql also reports as error:

ERROR: pg_atoi: zero-length string

In Apache error logs, I get:

DBD::Pg::st execute failed: ERROR:  pg_atoi: zero-length string at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1//FS/Record.pm line 268.

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Apache/ASP.pm line 1489

Summary of installation:
1.  Freeside version 1.4.0
2.  Apache::ASP version 2.49
3.  Postgresql version 7.3.1
4.  OS: RedHat Linux 7.3 kernel 2.4.18-3
5.  Perl version 5.6.1
6.  DBI version 1.32
7.  DBD::Pg version 1.21

Thanks in advance for the assistance.
