We mustn't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. You pointed out some
very complicated behavior, and generously produced a test program
illustrating it. I thought the least I could do was incorporate it in the
unit tests, where we can hack on it and where it will remind us how the
thing is supposed to behave.

And that's entirely to your credit!
I can't think of a FreeTDS unit test that could be confused with a work of
art. They were mostly written for exactly the same reason, and in much
the same way, as was yours: to test specific behavior. I'd say that puts
you in pretty good company. ;-)
