Ok, ok.
It seem that there are always new problems :(

Anyone as a test that fail? Even php code is good.
Perhaps we should add a TDS_CANCELLING state in tds.h.in and work with this
(so in read.c we can skip invalid packets)...

Good! I'd like to see a test with TDS7 and big endian machines...
But I have access only to sf compile farm for access a big endian machines
and I can't connect to everything from these machines...

If someone have no Intel/Linux machine... test are welcome. We should update
table on UG too (I suggest to add a last update column on this table)

uniqueidentifier is mainly a problem of DBD::Sybase (real Sybase server do
not support uniqueid so DBD::Sybase do not handle this...). Mainly but not
only. Simply because FreeTDS do not return error fetching if an error is
detected on binding (already detected as error and marked with a FIXME in
ct.c).

Should we correct this error ?
