Mysql C prepared statement API sending incorrect data

[phil]

I am having a problem with the C api with prepared statements, the data
recorded in the database does not match the data I am sending. It seems to
be some sort of bit shifted version of the data, and I have no idea why.

I am including code I have been using to test this, followed by the output
in the database.

I am using mysql version 4.1.12,
I have tried this on multiple servers, remote and local.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <mysql/mysql.h>

#define Q1 "insert into test2 (test) values (?)"

int main ()
{
MYSQL *mysql;
/*static MYSQL_FIELD *fields;
*/
MYSQL_STMT *s1;
MYSQL_BIND b1[1];
long testint=0;
int ii;
mysql=mysql_init(NULL);

if (!mysql_real_connect(mysql, "", "", "" ,"test1",0,NULL,0))
{
fprintf(stderr, "Failed to connect to Database: Error:
%s\n",mysql_error(mysql));
exit(-1);
}

s1=mysql_stmt_init(mysql);
if (!s1)
{
fprintf(stderr, " mysql_stmt_init(), out of memory\n");
exit(-1);
}

memset(b1, 0, sizeof(b1));
b1[0].buffer_type=MYSQL_TYPE_LONG;
b1[0].buffer=(void *) &testint;
if (mysql_stmt_prepare(s1, Q1, strlen(Q1)))
{
fprintf(stderr, " mysql_stmt_prepare(), 1 INSERT failed\n");
fprintf(stderr, " %s\n", mysql_stmt_error(s1));
exit(0);
}
if (mysql_stmt_bind_param(s1, b1))
{
fprintf(stderr, " mysql_stmt_bind_param() failed\n");
fprintf(stderr, " %s\n", mysql_stmt_error(s1));
exit(0);
}
for (ii=0;ii<20;ii++)
{
testint=ii;
if (mysql_stmt_execute(s1))
{
fprintf(stderr, " mysql_stmt_execute(), 1 failed\n");
fprintf(stderr, " %s\n", mysql_stmt_error(s1));
exit(0);
}
}

mysql_stmt_close(s1);
mysql_close(mysql);
return 0;
}
mysql> select * from test2;

| 1468 | 1179648 |
| 1469 | 1245184 |
+------+---------+
20 rows in set (0.06 sec)

the id is just an identifier, the numbers that are supposed to be in the
test column are 0-19.
the numbers that are in the database have a difference of 65536 or 216,

Using the prepared statement api for getting data from the database works
properly as far as I can tell. So does the standard C interface, as well as
the perl and php interfaces

Any help as to what is going on here would be appreciated.

Thanks,
