mysql_stmt_bind_param error

I tried to execute the example code (see below) from the function
mysql_stmt_execute I found in mysql 4.1 documentation
(http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/mysql-stmt-execute.html). This
source code runs perfect under linux red hat with version 4.1.7 but it
prints out an error if I try to run it under windows XP SP2.

 

This is the output of this code

 

prepare, INSERT successful

 total parameters in INSERT: 3

 mysql_stmt_bind_param() failed

 Using unsupported buffer type: 838860800  (parameter: 2)

 

It seems that the function mysql_stmt_bind_param  is not working under
this environment. 

 

I tried installing version 4.1.20 and linking my program with the new
library but the result is the same.

 

Is that a bug of windows version? Can anyone help?

 

Thanks in advanced
