[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

The PTF to fix this is SI02177.  It's in a test mode as of this morning.

About the C/free versus the /free...

I opened up pmr 36385,500.  They will be talking to the developers soon.

:-)  I should have used variables with my name in them.  I love seeing my
name in PTF cover letters.  It's cool when they copy my code verbatim.

Just don't hold your breath waiting for it.  I'd LIKE to
see it happen, and I'm willing to help make it happen
given the right support, but who knows IF it will happen.
I can't say anything more than that right now.

The SQL preprocessor is Rochester's responsibility.  Even
if you do report it as a problem, you'd still need to add
the "C" for now to get your program to compile.
