Hmmm...dbdata() (I can only speak to the C library side of things) returns
the pointer directly from the row buffer (resinfo->current_row) which is 4
byte aligned (see function tds_process_col_info() for an example,
although all 3 result functions do it).  

Someone reported this as only happening with Solaris 2.7 (2.6 works
apparently).

Would it be possible to do a stack trace where it dumps?
