I too got the similar problem when I installed freetds to make it work with
MS SQL 6.5. I got the same errors when I tested it. As a work around I
removed the printf statements from the source files and recompiled the
stuff. Interestingly the freetds crashed when I tried to retrieve more than
500 rows at the same time. I have no clue whether the crash is related with
the errors showing up.
