I'm using my build of FreeTDS on OS X and noticing some behavioural differences

For instance the exact same piece of code on Solaris produces the following from the msg_handler that I've installed in a dblib program

./sybping SQLSERVER ; echo $?
DB-Library message handler <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< a note to myself that the msg handler gets called
Msg 4002, Level 14, State 1
Server 'pipedevt'
Line 1

Login failed.
DB-Library error handler
DB-Library: Login incorrect.
255

On the FreeTDS setup it produces ( Note the missing call to the msg handler )

./sybping SQLSERVER ; echo $?
DB-Library: Login incorrect.
NOT connected
0

Both the interfaces files are pointed at the same SQL Server so that doesn't account for the difference.

Is there some behavioral difference between FreeTDS and Sybase' dblib that I'm not aware of ?
If so where might documentation for this be as I don't see mention of this in the FAQ's ?
