Problem is PHP. 
In sybase module (--with-sybase compiling PHP) it read binary data
converting to char (resulting in this behavior)
In mssql module (used in win32 PHP) it copy binary with memcpy.

New PHP (4.3) seem to have a version of mssql module that use dblib/FreeTDS.
Try to use this.

If someone want to report the bug to PHP and/or a patch (I'm too busy at the
moment)...
