We've set up freetds as a gateway between Sql server and Oracle.  When running a query on Oracle across a link to a Sql Server database, we get extra null characters between each real character in the output.  This occurs on columns set up as nchar on the Sql Server side.  Can anyone please provide assistance?

Here is the output from the dump command on the query (executed on Oracle across the link), the real output should be "administrator".

Typ=1 Len=52: 0,97,0,0,0,100,0,0,0,109,0,0,0,105,0,0,0,110,0,0,0,105,0,0,0,115,0,0,0,116,0,0,0,114,0,0,0,97,0,0,0,116,0,0,0,111,0,0,0,114,0,0

Thanks!
