A possibility was offered that it may be a conflict with other libraries,
however we have no other libraries installed. Further details:

The relevant box is a debian box (potato) with:

- Freetds (tuesday CVS)
- PHP4b3 (tuesday CVS) w gd and sybase-ct
- Sybperl (Latest stable from CPAN)
- SQSH (latest stable)

Installed.

SQSH and Sybperl are functioning 100% correctly, PHP is connecting
correctly, and for the most part working, except for the following:

Every string line recieved from a hash is one character short

My conclusion from this is that for some reason the Sybase-ct module in
PHP is setting the length wrong or similar.

My previous note about invalid row counts I haven't been able to verify
(however I have regards the one-char-short issue) so this may not be a
problem.

Richard.
