Correction: bcp works.  

The investigation was long and hard.  The fix was small.  Side benefit:
tds.html now includes a BCP packet description (and is much better HTML,
too, if I do say so myself).  

The problem was smaller than first appeared.  It manifested itself only a
text/image or numeric column was NULL in the preceding row.
