Nice catch. Regarding your patch, it seems to me that this is not
enough. I think that we should return NULL with ECPGget_sqlca in case
of an OOM instead of logging a message with ecpg_log and let each code
path decide what to do when sqlca is NULL. Some code paths can
directly use ecpg_raise with ECPG_OUT_OF_MEMORY. Other code paths,
like the ones in error.c will need to show up with appropriate error
messages.
