A little birdie from MS support mentioned that SQL 7 unintentionally broke
TDS 4.2 complatiblility and that the following problems are experienced by
big endian sybase clients:

1) selecting datetime, smalldatetime, and money data types return
incorrect results.
2) Error numbers at the client are always wrong.
3) bcp just won't work.
