Could it be that solaris 7, while being a 32-bit OS, is 64-bit
internally, and needs to be 8 byte aligned?  Does anyone use freetds on
an alpha?

Another problem in running the sybperl tests seems to be that failed
queries don't come back that way.  Is anyone using freetds and sybperl?

Thanks,
- Dave

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?
