Michael,
Yes I found out the same thing. Unfortunately it isn't quite that
simple for me. It isn't a very good idea to hard-code fixed sizes in
executables. I have a file with all sorts of #defines in it. If the bug
doesn't get fixed it means that I will need to run CPP over the code
before I run ecpg, which is just ugly.
