In Embedded SQL, sometimes get segmentation faults on selecting part

(gdb) where
#0 0xff233da0 in strncpy () from /usr/lib/libc.so.1
#1 0xff376780 in ECPGget_data () from /private/pgsql/lib/libecpg.so.4
#2 0xff37345c in ECPGstore_result () from /private/pgsql/lib/libecpg.so.4
#3 0xff374cc8 in ECPGexecute () from /private/pgsql/lib/libecpg.so.4

The attached example reproduces the failure on PostgreSQL 7.4.2 under
Solaris. The problem was also experienced by a colleague who was
using Linux but I haven't tested the example under Linux.
Please describe a way to repeat the problem. Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I have attached a tar file containing a program, makefile, and log of
my results.
Do this:
createdb crashme
make
./crashme
If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:
