        Hi, everyone

        I compiled the freetds on solaris 8 SPARC, and it works fine. However 
its
odbc driver doesn't work

        I compiled the connect.c in the $FREETDSHOME/src/odbc/unittests by

        "make connect"

        then I run it and got :

        SQLConnect connect...
        odbctest
        --------

        connection parameters:
        server:..
        user:..
        password:..
        database:..

        Bus Error (core dumped)

        This bus error (memory misalignment) is caused by the code in the
"SQLConnect" function of "odbc.c" :

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
        connect_info = tds_alloc_connect(dbc->henv->tds_ctx->locale);
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------

        In fact, even if I wrote following code, there still will be a bus 
error at
the last line:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
struct _henv *henv;
TDSCONTEXT   *tdscontext;

henv = dbc->henv;
tdscontext = henv->tds_ctx;
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------

        however, if I wrote following code, there will be no bus error:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
henv = (struct _henv*) malloc(sizeof(struct _henv));
tdscontext = henv->tds_ctx;
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------

        So I thought somehow the dbc (which is a paramter of the "SQLConnect"
function) is wrong when it is sent in,
however the only place this dbc is initialized is in the "_SQLAllocConnect",
but I can't find any problem in it.

        Could anybody help me out of this?

Thank you
