loosing record pointer upon update

[Robert Brenstein]

Select recid,* from boname where recid=0

cursor_getrecordcount -> 0
cursor_setfield,"timestamp",secs() ->
cursor_addrecord -> true
cursor_getfield,"recid" -> 129

Works fine. However, this keeps adding new records. Since I now 
accumulated some abandoned records (user started entry but did not 
finish), I try to reused them

Select recid,* from boname where rid=0

rid is my field that is 0 if record is abandoned and is set to recid 
when user completes transaction.

cursor_getrecordcount -> 66
cursor_firstrecord -> true
cursor_setfield,"timestamp",secs() ->
cursor_updaterecord -> true
cursor_getfield,"recid" -> 0

Why but WHY do I get 0 as record id  ???

If I copy the cursor_getfield call before update, it works correctly, 
so there is no type or other problem.

Select recid,* from boname where rid=0
cursor_getrecordcount -> 66
cursor_firstrecord -> true
cursor_getfield,"recid" -> 1 <=== !
cursor_setfield,"timestamp",secs() ->
cursor_updaterecord -> true
cursor_getfield,"recid" -> 0 <=== !

If I insert setting record after update, then all is fine again.

Select recid,* from boname where rid=0
cursor_getrecordcount -> 66
cursor_firstrecord -> true
cursor_setfield,"timestamp",secs() ->
cursor_updaterecord -> true
cursor_firstrecord -> true
cursor_getfield,"recid" -> 1

No errors at any time. This is with vxcmd 1.9.6 btw.

It sure looks that UpdateRecord causes cursor to firget its record pointer.
