The code works fine with Microsoft DBLIB and SQLServer 7.0, so whether
or not the code is wrong, something in the FreeTDS DBLIB isn't working
the same way as the MS code.

At some point in the past the FreeTDS code and the Microsoft code both
produced the same (correct) result on t0009.

The tests were written to demonstrate bugs that exist or existed in
the FreeTDS libraries.  If the test says 'failed', it doesn't mean you
should "fix" the test, it means you should fix the library.
