What kind of error messages or incorrect behaviour are you seeing? And on
which boxes?  There are some issues running certain things on Solaris (the
the other message that just went out to the list). Are you trying to run
DBD::Sybase, Sybperl, PHP? Which version of FreeTDS are you running? (I
would highly recomend the snapshot).
