I agree, it appears everything is ok, ct_cmd_drop doesn't really do
anything.  So, it has to be happening elsewhere.  One thing I'm aware of
is ct_cancel occasionally fails against MS SQL (but not Sybase), so you
migh need to set syb_flush_finish...here is the revelent text from
dbd::perl

--------
syb_flush_finish

If $dbh->{syb_flush_finish} is set then $dbh->finish will drain
any results remaining for the current command by actually fetching them.
The default behaviour is to issue a ct_cancel(CS_CANCEL_ALL), but this
appears to cause connections to hang or to fail in certain cases (although
I've never witnessed this myself.)
--------

Also, I'd like to apologize for not being a bit more responsive...things
are hectic at work and I'm trying to buy a house as well, so my freetime
to work on freetds is very limited at the moment.
