I recall that when I started working with DBD::Sybase a couple months ago, I
was getting a garbage character at the end of every field returned in a query.
I upgraded DBD::Sybase, FreeTDS, or both, and the problem went away (which
meant I had to rewrite some of my scripts :).  Perhaps the code is now being
overzealous and cutting one byte too many off of NUMERIC fields, as well?
