If I remember correctly, there is a difference in the returned value from
some of the ctlib calls depending on the format used.  Some formats
include null in the count and some do not.  More specifically DBD::Sybase
uses one and PHP uses the other :-)

So, take a real good look at _ct_bind_data() to make sure you get the
correct behaviour.
