getting OID of INSERTed record in ECPG - Mailing list pgsql-interfaces

After sending the message below yesterday, I decided to look at the
source to see where sqlca.sqlerrd[1] gets updated.  From what I can
tell, nowhere in ecpglib.c (or any other file) is sqlca.sqlerrd[1] 
even referenced much less updated.  However, the documentation and a
post to psql-interfaces (appended to the bottom of this email) seems
to indicate that sqlca.sqlerrd[1]  will hold the OID of an INSERTed
tuple if a single tuple is inserted.  Do I have the most up-to-date
source and binaries?  Here's what I have:

source:
postgresql-6.5.3.tar.gz (D/Led from postgresql.org)

binaries: (Linux RPMs D/Led from postgresql.org)
postgresql-6.5.3-3.rpm
postgresql-server-6.5.3-3.rpm
postgresql-6.5.3-3.rpm
postgresql-devel-6.5.3-3.rpm
postgresql-examples-1.0-1.rpm

If there is any patches that I am missing here, any help would be
greatly appreciated.  Also, If anyone knows a workaround for getting
the OID of a tuple INSERTed into a table, I would appreciate this as
well.

thanks in advance,
Matt Denny

But this wasn't what I meant. :-)

I wasn't wording very well. What I wanted to say was that I don't see
much
of a chance to give back the serial as such. What I added to my TODO
list
(and btw just committed the changed source) is the return of the OID
for the
singleton insert.
