Attached is the short example I can reproduce with.
The version I used was final PostgreSQL 8.4.0, without our
extensions posted already. I added an indication to ecpg_type_name():

[zozo@db00 ecpg-test]$ ecpg -C INFORMIX test28.pgc
ecpg_type_name: unhandled type 22
Félbeszakítva (core dumped)

Type 22 is exactly ECPGt_struct. gdb cannot get the passed value:

[zozo@db00 ecpg-test]$ gdb ~/pgc84pre/bin/ecpg core.850
...
#0  0x0000003994032215 in raise (sig=<value optimized out>) at

test28.pgc contains this, ECPG aborts:

EXEC SQL DECLARE mycur CURSOR FOR SELECT * INTO :myvar FROM a1 WHERE id = 1;
EXEC SQL FETCH FROM mycur;

But you are right about the "supposed to work" part,
if I modify it the way below, it works:

EXEC SQL DECLARE mycur CURSOR FOR SELECT * FROM a1 WHERE id = 1;
EXEC SQL FETCH FROM mycur INTO :myvar;
