thanks.

Hopefully last turn in this topic. For NUMERIC types, the safe minimum
alignment is a pointer because there are 5 int members followed by
two pointer members in this struct. I got a crash from this with a lucky
query and dataset. The DECIMAL struct is safe because the digits[] array
is embedded there.

After fixing this, I got another one at an innocent looking memcpy():

    memcpy((char *) sqlda + offset, num->buf, num->ndigits + 1);

It turned out that when the server sends "0.00", PGTYPESnumeric_from_asc()
constructs a numeric structure with:
    ndigits == 0
    buf == NULL
    digits == NULL.
This makes memcpy() crash and burn. Let's also fix this case.

Best regards,
