libpq: bind message supplies 2 parameters, but prepared statement requires 1

Hello,

these 2 statements work fine for me on the psql-prompt:

punbb=> select id, username, md5('deadbeef' || password) from users
where id = 7;
id | username | md5
----+----------+----------------------------------
7 | Alex | b962415469222eeb31e739c3afbc8a4a
(1 row)

punbb=> select username from users where id = 7 and md5('deadbeef' ||
password) = 'b962415469222eeb31e739c3afbc8a4a';
username
----------
Alex
(1 row)

However when I try to execute the latter query by my C-program,
then it fails, saying that my bind command supplies 2 arguments
(yes, that's true), but the prepared statement requires 1 argument
(why 1? I don't understand). I have prepared a separate simple
test case, could someone please explain what am I doing wrong?

#include <err.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <libpq-fe.h>

#define DB_CONN_STR "host=/var/www/tmp user=punbb dbname=punbb"
#define SQL_FETCH_USERNAME "select username from users " \
"where id = $1 and md5('deadbeef' || password) = '$2'"

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
PGconn* conn;
PGresult* res;
const char *args[2];
char username[201];

if ((conn = PQconnectdb(DB_CONN_STR)) == NULL)
err(1, "Connect to '%s' failed: out of memory", DB_CONN_STR);

if (PQstatus(conn) != CONNECTION_OK)
err(1, "Connect to '%s' failed: %s",
DB_CONN_STR, PQerrorMessage(conn));

if ((res = PQprepare(conn, "sql_fetch_username",
SQL_FETCH_USERNAME, 2, NULL)) == NULL)
err(1, "Preparing statement '%s' failed: out of memory",
SQL_FETCH_USERNAME);

if (PQresultStatus(res) != PGRES_COMMAND_OK)
err(1, "Preparing statement '%s' failed: %s",
SQL_FETCH_USERNAME, PQerrorMessage(conn));

PQclear(res);

args[0] = "7";
args[1] = "b962415469222eeb31e739c3afbc8a4a";

if ((res = PQexecPrepared(conn, "sql_fetch_username",
2, args, NULL, NULL, 0)) == NULL)
err(1, "Executing statement '%s' failed: out of memory",
SQL_FETCH_USERNAME);

if (PQresultStatus(res) != PGRES_TUPLES_OK)
err(1, "Executing statement '%s' failed: %s",
SQL_FETCH_USERNAME, PQerrorMessage(conn));
PQclear(res);

PQfinish(conn);
return 0;
}

And here is the error message I get:

laptop72:src {541} ./fetch-user
fetch-user: Executing statement 'select username from users where id =
$1 and md5('deadbeef' || password) = '$2'' failed: ERROR: bind
message supplies 2 parameters, but prepared statement
"sql_fetch_username" requires 1
: No such file or directory

Thank you
Alex
