Yes the test files worked.  Until I added the other variables used in the
insert statement.  I put the following in the sql declare section (too
lazy to type them all).

char *uid,*id,*name_first,*name_middle,*name_last;

And then ecpg bombs with the seg fault.

Sure, if I can figure out how.  Can I do that via gdb?  Or do I just need
to use puts throughout the function?

I'd also be willing to try the cvs versions if someone could tell me where
to get them, I cant find cvs download instructions on the postgresql site.
