Thanks for the confirmation.  That means it's a bug in the application, not the library.

When it matters enough to someone with the time and the skill to fix it.  

FreeTDS needs more contributors.  Frediano and I both find our lives quite full, which is good for us but not so great for the project.  Frediano's first commit was eight years ago tomorrow, Tuesday Apr 9, 2002.  (Happy anniversary, Freddy!)  He and I both made contributions before that.  Ten years is a good run, and it's been fun.  It still is, but if significant progress is going to be made -- especially for new versions of the server -- it will be because of new contributors.  

A bug like this is a great place to start for someone who knows some C and wants to learn more about db-lib programming.  It's all about using the API, not creating it, and the whole application codebase is under 1200 lines.
