[ digs in code... ] It looks like the behavior would be to (a)
materialize the entire result of FETCH FORWARD ALL inside the backend,
then (b) hand back the number of rows you requested. Probably not what
you want :-(. I'd suggest issuing successive "FETCH n" commands and
ignoring the protocol-level limit feature.
