ecpg 2.8.0: at <connection name> problem

Dear Sirs,

ecpg 2.8.0 seems to wrongly translate the "at <connection name>"
clause.

System: SUN sparc ultra 5
SELECT version() says:
PostgreSQL 7.1.2 on sparc-sun-solaris2.6, compiled by GCC 2.95.2

The following statement works fine with ecpg version 2.7.1 (using
postgresql v7.1.2 libecpg , libpq libraries and v7.1.2 backend). When
using version 2.8.0 the error message produced at runtime at the server
is "COMMIT: no transaction in progress". As far as i can see, no queries
are issued to the backend. I noticed a small difference in the C code
both versions of ecpg generate (psConnectName appears tiwce in the code
generated by ecpg 2.8.0)

exec sql at :psConnectName declare fwdDep_c cursor for SELECT
templateId, depTemplateId FROM is_dependencies WHERE serverId =
:iServerId AND parentId = :iParentId AND instanceId = :iInstanceId AND
(depType = :iTypeIsCF OR depType = :iTypeIsCF_AND_DF) ORDER BY
depTemplateId ASC;

Here's the output produced by ecpg 2.7.1 for the example query :

ECPGdo(__LINE__, psConnectName, "declare fwdDep_c cursor for select
templateId , depTemplateId from is_dependencies where serverId = ?
and parentId = ? and instanceId = ? and ( depType = ? or depType = ?
) order by depTemplateId asc ",
ECPGt_int,&(iServerId),1L,1L,sizeof(int),
ECPGt_NO_INDICATOR, NULL , 0L, 0L, 0L,
ECPGt_int,&(iParentId),1L,1L,sizeof(int),
ECPGt_NO_INDICATOR, NULL , 0L, 0L, 0L,
ECPGt_int,&(iInstanceId),1L,1L,sizeof(int),
ECPGt_NO_INDICATOR, NULL , 0L, 0L, 0L,
ECPGt_int,&(iTypeIsCF),1L,1L,sizeof(int),
ECPGt_NO_INDICATOR, NULL , 0L, 0L, 0L,
ECPGt_int,&(iTypeIsCF_AND_DF),1L,1L,sizeof(int),
ECPGt_NO_INDICATOR, NULL , 0L, 0L, 0L, ECPGt_EOIT, ECPGt_EORT);}

Here's the one from ecpg 2.8.0:

{ ECPGdo(__LINE__, psConnectName, "declare fwdDep_c cursor for select
templateId , depTemplateId from is_dependencies where serverId = ?
and parentId = ? and instanceId = ? and ( depType = ? or depType = ?
) order by depTemplateId asc ",
ECPGt_char,&(psConnectName),0L,1L,1*sizeof(char),
ECPGt_NO_INDICATOR, NULL , 0L, 0L, 0L,
ECPGt_int,&(iServerId),1L,1L,sizeof(int),
ECPGt_NO_INDICATOR, NULL , 0L, 0L, 0L,
ECPGt_int,&(iParentId),1L,1L,sizeof(int),
ECPGt_NO_INDICATOR, NULL , 0L, 0L, 0L,
ECPGt_int,&(iInstanceId),1L,1L,sizeof(int),
ECPGt_NO_INDICATOR, NULL , 0L, 0L, 0L,
ECPGt_int,&(iTypeIsCF),1L,1L,sizeof(int),
ECPGt_NO_INDICATOR, NULL , 0L, 0L, 0L,
ECPGt_int,&(iTypeIsCF_AND_DF),1L,1L,sizeof(int),
ECPGt_NO_INDICATOR, NULL , 0L, 0L, 0L,
ECPGt_char,&(psConnectName),0L,1L,1*sizeof(char),
ECPGt_NO_INDICATOR, NULL , 0L, 0L, 0L, ECPGt_EOIT, ECPGt_EORT);}
