varchar(350) data getting truncated to 255 characters

I am running Linux (Fedora 3) with
	sybase 0.37
	freetds 0.63
to collect data from a remote Microsoft SQL server.  There is at least
one field that is truncated to 255 characters as I read it:
	(curs.fetchone())

The curs.description shows:
	('Features', 1, 0, 255, 0, 0, 1)
	('Remarks', 1, 0, 255, 0, 0, 1)

However, those fields are actually defined as varchar(350).

Is this a limitation in the modules?  Am I doing something wrong?
Should I be using a different set of modules to connect a Python program
to a remote Microsoft SQL server?
