It's been a while so my memory may be a little shaky (wouldn't be the first
time ;-)

But it seems that doing a STRINGBIND on a varchar did exactly that under
msdblib, using NTBSTRINGBIND acted as you would expect.  Like I said, I need
to go back and test the exact configuration of char/varchar,
STRINGBIND/NTBSTRINGBIND, and sybase/mssql to get the right results.
