I'm upgrading a FreeTDS environment as part of a plan to move a database
client to a new Solaris host.

I'm running perl 5.8.0 in a Solaris 8 environment, using FreeTDS-0.61 and
DBD::Sybase 0.95.  It was recommended that I use the snapshot release of
FreeTDS to resolve some issues with compatability.

The "tsql" client program is able to connect to a server configured in my
freetds.conf file.

However, when I run a test perl script to connect to the same database,
perl dumps core.

I checked with Michael Peppler and he said it was a problem with ct.c.

Here's part of a stack trace:

#0  ct_options (con=0x3d838, action=4, option=7, param=0xffbef367,
    paramlen=-99999, outlen=0x0) at ct.c:1950
