I've run across this as well, but with a numeric data type field.  I 
compiled for TDSVER=70 to talk to MS SQLServer 7.

It seems that some datatypes are not handled yet, and these can cause the 
seg fault you experienced.

My solution has been to set the TDSVER environment variable to 42 
(putenv("TDSVER=42");) in the php code for the affected page.  It returned 
the field as a string, which I could then manipulate.  Hopefully something 
smilar would work for you.


And I agree, this message board has been a great help.  Many thanks to 
those who develop, debug and assist.
