Mark, 

If you will provide us with the necessary information and are willing to
reinstall successive snapshots, I think we can get FreeTDS working on your
system.  I've been making rather rash statements lately about how FreeTDS
works with every unix and its second cousins, and I'd rather fix your
system than recant.  :)

libd4r is clue #1.  We'll have to add a test for that file to the inputs
that control the configure script generation.  Then it will remain to be
seen if the declarations of the various _r functions match what else we've
already come across.

AFAIK, you can't, not without opening up the Makefile and adding it. 
Which isn't too hard.

What flavor server are you connecting to?  
Is your CPU big or little endian?  It's 32-bit, yes?
Are you using GNU's cc and ld, or HP's, or a combination?

If you can provide a bt and a log of the session that dumps core on a
dblib unit test, I will examine the code for possible problems.  Please
use the latest snapshot; it will make it easier to locate things.
