Whow, you're really stress testing it. Thanks a lot! This is what we
need.

The segfault is fixed in CVS. Reason was that on finding the variable it
set an error message but not the normal return value and then tried to
proceed anyway.

Yes. ECPG move to the latest backend protocol version to be able to
prepare statements correctly. However, with this protocol my own
addition to the standard, namely a variable as fetch count, is not
supported anymore. But there is a simple workaround. Just sprintf the
statement to a string and thereby replace the count variable with its
content and then EXEC SQL EXECUTE the string variable should do the job.

Hope this helps.
