Hey all,

I've got an interesting problem.  We run the Micromuse Netcool 
management system here, which is pretty much a hacked-up copy of Sybase 
ASE.  I've been using FreeTDS 0.53 with the TDS 5.0 library & PHP 4.x to 
connect to our Netcool server for ages, and it works great.  So first 
off I have to thank all of you for your excellent work.

I recently upgraded to FreeTDS 0.60 and I noticed that a lot of my pages 
started breaking.  I finally noticed they broke because an extra control 
character was being added to the end of varchar fields that I SELECT'd 
from the Netcool server.  The extra control character wasn't present on 
any integer fields, so I'm assuming that the control character is in 
fact the terminating NULL in the string.

I recompiled my PHP a second time using the old 0.53 version of FreeTDS 
and things started working again.

I'm using the Ct-Lib interface and not the Db-Lib interface, since 
Ct-Lib is what the Netcool client itself uses.

I guess the real question is, is this a PHP bug or a FreeTDS bug, and is 
there somebody easy I can do to get 0.60 to work correctly?

Thanks!
-Dustin
