I opened bug 734236 for this today -- it reproduces with later versions of the precompiler as well.
Actually, using COUNT as the cursor name works just fine, for whatever reason, it will UPPERCASE test.pc to TEST.PC when you use a key word as a cursor name and then generate the file TEST.c -- not test.c. thats all in the bug report.
