As I wrote a couple of weeks ago, you can get around this by hacking the ESQL/C script. Here's my post to c.d.i from 1st October. You can look for such answers via DejaNews, of course...

The only thing I've had problems with is getting sqlexecd to actually accept any connections -- I haven't yet suffered from any zombies because I haven't managed to connect via sqlexecd.

And here's a patch file (unified diff) of the changes I made. As I said, this is working for me on RedHat 5.1, but YMMV.
