Sorry I thought Zoltan's explanation was clear enough. All prior ECPG versions were fine because dynamic cursor names
wereonly added in 9.0. Apparently only this one place was missed. So this is a bug in the new feature, however not such
amajor one that it warrants the complete removal IMO. I'd prefer to fix this in 9.0.1.
Hope this cleans it up a bit.
