FreeTDS Development Group

[Brian Bruns <camber AT ais.org>]

I'm actually starting to use freetds against SQLAnywhere in a new
project and will be a bit more active in development again soon.  If you
can write up some procedures to reproduce what you are seeing (table
creates, inserts, stored procs, php script and whatever else is needed to
produce the error on a blank database) then I can look into fairly easily.
