I knew I should have looked at this closer when Peter made his complaint -
it sounded familiar. IIRC it was actually a point I raised about the
original code, and it was fixed. At any rate, last night Abhijit Menon-Sen
and I looked at the code and got confused becuse it appears to have been
fixed ;-). "rows" only contains data and only exists if the result is from a
successful select. "processed" is the row count, and is always present.

So it's a case of bad documentation, which we will fix very shortly. Sorry
for the noise.

cheers
