Non helpful error

Question

Hi all,
When calling the OCIColAppend function, I get an error. OCIErrorGet and OCIExtProcRaiseExcp tell me that the error is
ORA-21500: internal error code, arguments: [], [], [], [], [], [], [], []
The error reference tells me
Cause: This is the generic error number for the OCI environment (client-side) internal errors. This indicates that the OCI environment has encountered an exceptional condition.
Action: Report to Oracle Customer Support. The first argument is the internal error number.
Anybody have an idea what is causing this?
As background, I'm running an External Procedure and trying to create a collection from an array. Here is a snippet of my C code
int WINAPI createCol(OCIEnv envhp, OCIError errhp, OCIColl col1,int arr1, int arraySize)
exec sql begin declare section;
     int tmp_int;
     OCINumber ocinum;
     long     errcode;
     char     errbuf;
exec sql end declare section;
          tmp_int = arr1[0];
          if (OCINumberFromInt(errhp,(dvoid *) &tmp_int, sizeof(tmp_int), OCI_NUMBER_SIGNED, &ocinum) != OCI_SUCCESS)
               OCIErrorGet ((dvoid *) errhp, (ub4) 1, (text *) NULL, &errcode, errbuf, (ub4) sizeof(errbuf), (ub4) OCI_HTYPE_ERROR);
               return errcode;
//The above function returns OCI_SUCCESS
if ( OCICollAppend( envhp, errhp, &ocinum, 0, col1 ) != OCI_SUCCESS )
               OCIErrorGet ((dvoid *) errhp, (ub4) 1, (text *) NULL, &errcode,(text *) &errbuf, (ub4) sizeof(errbuf), (ub4) OCI_HTYPE_ERROR);
               return errcode;
//Here it returns with the error code
int WINAPI getNumArr(OCIExtProcContext oci_ctx,OCIColl p_out,short *p_out_i)
do some ProC stuff to register context, get env, allocate err handle, select a column out of a table and then
iRet = createCol(oeh, oerrh, p_out, arrOut, arraySize);
OCIExtProcRaiseExcp(myctx,i1);
return i1;
Thanks for your time if anyone takes a look at this.
Even better if you can point me to some examples of using External Procedures and ESQL (ProC) and working with Collections/VArrays.
