I still think that you are on a risky path by misusing this feature. On
the other hand I see no reason why setting the len to 0 in case of a
NULL could be a problem for ecpg. But please keep in mind that you are
getting NULLs from the DB, not empty varchars, even if they look that
way in C.

I will commit the patch in a few minutes.
