I wish I had the time to examine and fix this, but I really don't. Isn't
this something the normal developers of the package would be interested in
fixing?

Thanks.

You understand correctly. Looking at the code, our implementation is
defective. Which is odd, because we had a very involved discussion about
this about six months ago. Apparently we solved the problem in theory but
never got a round tuit. Maybe the different libraries have conflicting
semantics, and we're not set up for that.

If you're interested in fixing this, you'll need a current snapshot, or at
least upgrade to 0.61.

The relevant function is (assuming it's a server-side message you're talking
about) is tds_process_msg() in src/tds/token.c:2019. Near the end of that
function, we call the installed handler, but ignore its return code and
return TDS_SUCCEED.

I don't know how fastidious we are about propogating the error back up the
stack.
