String bind parameter doesn"t work on MySQL 4.1.0-alpha

I realize that it's an alpha release, and I realize that it might be a known
bug.
And I don't expect support.
It's just that I work for a company that makes a product that runs on
multiple
databases, and because I was bored I tried to port out database abstraction
library to mysql. It was really easy, the C api is clean and simple. We
currently
run on informix (esql), oracle (oci) and ms-sql (odbc), and mysql was much
easier than any of these. I miss a mysql_begin() or some such (to start a
transaction), so I resorted to use mysql_query("start transaction").
