Hello all,

I'm not a developer, and I'm not part of this list, but I found a
problem in the ODBC interface of FreeTDS 0.61 that I thought I should
pass along.

I'm running on a Linux system using iODBC. I have the odbc.ini file
stored in the /etc directory. When I run the iODBC odbctest program I
get a segmentation fault pointing to a call to vasprintf located in the
odbc/connectparams.c file. After some fiddling around with a test
program using vasprintf() I came up with the following change to make it
work:

$ diff connectparams.c connectparams.c~
317c317
<               if (vasprintf(&fn, "%s/.odbc.ini", &p) > 0) {
---
>               if (vasprintf(&fn, "%s/.odbc.ini", p) > 0) {

** note the &p change. This is in the function tdoGetIniFileName()

I hope this helps someone out. If you need more information please
e-mail your request to me.

Regards,

Brian
