I'm using Red Hat 7.0 with these RPM's:
 php-4.0.4pl1-3 (rebuilt to include unixODBC support)
 unixODBC-1.8.13-2
 freetds-0.52-1

This is my /etc/freetds/freetds.conf:
[global]
  tds version        = 4.2
  initial block size = 512
  swap broken dates  = no
  swap broken money  = no
  try server login   = yes
  try domain login   = no
  nt domain          = MACROSCOOP
  cross domain login = no

[duchamp]
  host               = duchamp
  port               = 1433
  tds version        = 7.0

When I access an MS SQL 7.0 database on duchamp, fields with data
type "text" have a single garbage character at the end.

This happens both with PHP as with isql, the command line
query tool that comes with unixODBC.

It does not happen when I use a DSN configured to use OpenLink
in stead of freetds.

I also tried the latest snapshot release, built with
--with-tds-version=7.0. Using tds version 7.0 it dumps
core. Using tds version 4.2 it works, but the problem remains.

The FAQ mentions that for data type "ntext" sometimes the last
character is lost. My problem seems to be the other way around.
