Hi,
   I am using ecpg version 2.4.4. I am checking my code with purify to
remove any run time problems.
Following simple ecpg code gives core dump (when compiled with purify*).

.....
#include <stdio.h>

void main()
{
exec sql connect cdata;
}
.....

The report says
IPR: Invalid pointer read:
  * This is occurring while in:
        makeEmptyPGconn [libecpg.so.2.6.2]
        PQsetdbLogin   [libecpg.so.2.6.2]
        main           [t4.o]
        _start         [crt1.o]
  * Reading 4 bytes from 0xef7a2218 between the heap and the stack.

Please help.
Thanks in advance.
