Hello,
a few weeks ago I bothered you with notes about StarOffice crashing while
trying to access a remote Sybase server.

Now I set up a local server (mainly for tests on a different project) and
ran StarOffice against this database. The result is interesting: StarOffice
does _not_ crash, even with an identical setup (except the server name).
Unfortunately I don't get the database tables displayed in StarOffice, but
this is a different task ....

My 'freetds.conf':

[global]
        tds version = 4.2
        initial block size = 512
        swap broken dates = no
        swap broken money = no
        try server login = yes
        try domain login = no
        cross domain login = no
        dump file = /tmp/freetds.log
        debug level = 10
[quickstep]
        host = quickstep.plesnik.bonsai.de
        port = 4110
[gluehbirne]
        host = gluehbirne.plesnik.bonsai.de
        port = 7543


My 'odbcinst.ini':

[ODBC]
Trace           = Yes
TraceFile       = /tmp/sql.log
ForceTrace      = Yes
Pooling         = No

[FreeTDS]
Description     = FreeTDS unixODBC Driver
Driver          = /opt/freetds/lib/libtdsodbc.so
Setup           = /opt/unixODBC/lib/libtdsS.so
FileUsage       = 1


My 'odbc.ini':

[gluehbirne]
Description     = FreeTDS unixODBC Driver
Driver          = /opt/freetds/lib/libtdsodbc.so
Servername      = gluehbirne

[quickstep]
Description     = FreeTDS unixODBC Driver
Driver          = /opt/freetds/lib/libtdsodbc.so
Servername      = quickstep


The DNS server knows about both of these servers and they reside in the same
subnet ('quickstep' is the ethernet interface of the local host !).

I attached '[freetds,sql].[local,remote].gz' in case anyone has a clue to
find the missing bits.
I also had a try running StarOffice in gdb, but this looks not very
promising to me:

[...]
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

0x44a7a74c in SdbODBCConnection::FillTypeList ()
   from /opt/office52/program/libsdb569li.so

P.S.: I might not be able to answer within the next couple of hours because
      the account I use for recieving the mailing list is down until
      tomorrow.
P.P.S.: I found a web page, how someone crashed OpenOffice with MyODBC:
        http://www.vttoth.com/msqlodbc.htm
        I can't tell if FreeTDS/ODBC has similar issues but at least it
        shows that an ODBC driver can crash the app ....  ;-)
