Pro*C/Cobol pgm file sizes under 6.0.34

After we upgraded to Oracle 6.0.34 from 6.0.31 on our NCR system 3000 Unix port, we noticed that the file size of the executables of Pro*C/Cobol had increased dramatically. e.g. The Table Structure Analyser program (Pro*C) was linked under both releases viz:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle dba 259180 Aug 11 08:45 tsa (under 6.0.31)
-rwxr-xr-x 1 andrew dba 534012 Nov 26 11:54 tsa (under 6.0.34)

I logged a TAR with Oracle in October last, but local support said it was because there is more functionality in 6.0.34. I did not accept that of course.

I asked one of the Oracle product Directors in December and he thought it might be because of a change to a default in linking. He never got back to us on that.

I would have thought this was a simple question, but my TAR has been logged with Oracle for 3 months now. Can anybody shed some light on this "feature" of 6.0.34?

Thanks,
Andrew.
