PostgreSQL 8.3 or so added WHERE CURRENT OF <curname> at the SQL level.
9.0 added ECPG's dynamic cursorname (a char variable carries the actual
cursor name)
but the WHERE CURRENT OF part was not converted, which was definitely an
oversight. Whether this is a "missing feature" or a "bugfix", it's only
a difference in
points of view. I think this patch belongs to 9.0.

I haven't looked at 8.4's regression tests but pgtypeslib/numeric.c in
8.4.4 has
the same problem, so the second patch (at least the numeric.c part) can be
applied there as well, maybe in even older branches.
