I twiddled with a lot, but it seems that there is a problem in the
put_string if the string is actually longer than length given in
put_string.  Where I caught the problem was in set_library I was using
TDS-library which is longer than the 10 bytes that is sent which for
some reason is messing with the byte afterwards.  I have also noticed
that there is usually a 0x08 '\b' at the end of strings sent with
put_string.  I checked the code and couldn't find anything obvious
that was causing it but I'm getting ready to dig into it tonight.
