Ok, I found my core dump. It seems that dbcoltype will return a SYBCHAR
when the type is SYBVARCHAR (other types do similar things as well). This
causes PHP to go to the default in a switch statement which fails. This is
why we had a failure in the malloc and not anywhere in the tds code, the
default case probably never gets exercised under normal circumstances.  It
still bugs me why it happened only with rowbuffering on though, but I
couldn't turn up anything.

I'll checking in the new code in a few minutes.  Whether this will fix
your problem or not is questionable, but give it a try.
