Add a DBI->trace(3) call before the DBI->connect(), and check the
trace for various error messages coming from the server. I check for
these messages in the server callback, but it is possible that MSSQL
uses a different error numbering than Sybase.

Alternatively there is a problem with the error numbers when emulating
little endian in the FreeTDS code.
