The main reason I split the patch from the previous one for ecpg was
for this reason - I didn't think it was the correct patch myself.
However after a serious hunt for the root of the problem I've found
that it is actually working correctly in the 7.2 sources and I was
picking up an ecpg from a 7.1.3ish build (which only contained an ecpg
binary). Appologies for the false hunt!
For the record it was fixed in pgc.l 1.79 (meskes 13-Jun-01).
