What type of server is "Bakes"?  (i.e. "select @@version")

It sounds like you're experiencing the infamous "4 gigabyte text column"
problem on a Microsoft SQL server.  Try executing "set textsize 8192" first
and see if that helps.  If so, you can put "text size = 8192" in your
freetds.conf.  See the FAQ or userguide for more details.

Cheers,

Good stuff, after rebuilding automake and libtool as well, I now get an
identical "configure" when running autogen.sh on Tru64 or Linux systems :)

After build and install, other problems arose, however :(
I'm blaming CVS state for now. But on the Tru64 system sqsh refused to run,
complaining about incorrect library versions. So I rebuilt sqsh, now it
runs, but fails on the "image" column from the all_types table as follows:

 bash-2.02# sqsh -S Bakes -U user -P password
 sqsh-2.1 Copyright (C) 1995-2001 Scott C. Gray
 This is free software with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY
 For more information type '\warranty'
 [21] Bakes.Bakes.1> select _image from all_types;
 dsp_desc_bind: Memory alloc failure for native column 1
 [22] Bakes.Bakes.1> quit

On Linux sqsh fails instead with:
 \connect: unable to install message callback

(I haven't recompiled it on Linux yet.)
