I think I know what's wrong, Dan, but not why. It's tow things:

1. We're still misdetecting some header file's function prototype.
2. Early on, a 1 (one) is written to the static variable
src/tds/util.c::dumpfile, tricking the logging functions into writing to
stdout.

What should happen if you start tsql without arguments:

$ tsql
locale is "C"
locale charset is "646"
Missing argument -S or -H
Usage: tsql [-S <server> | -H <hostname> -p <port>] ...

Perhaps a backtrace will help Frediano track down what's going on. Could
you try this:

gdb tsql
(gdb) b main
(gdb) r [arguments]
(gdb) watch dumpfile != 0
Watchpoint 5: dumpfile != 0
(gdb) c
Continuing.
locale is "C"
locale charset is "646"
Watchpoint 5: dumpfile != 0

Old value = 0
New value = 1
0x4807efc1 in tdsdump_open (filename=0x804f240 "dump")
at src/tds/util.c:195
195 } else if (NULL == (dumpfile = fopen(filename, "w"))) {
(gdb) bt
#0 0x4807efc1 in tdsdump_open (filename=0x804f240 "dump")
at src/tds/util.c:195
#1 0x4807f7b1 in tds_connect (tds=0x8050000, connect_info=0x8050100)
at src/tds/login.c:227
#2 0x804a31a in main (argc=7, argv=0xbfbfba20)
at src/apps/tsql.c:483

My guess is you won't get anywhere near that far, that "dumpfile" is being
corrupted early and often. The bt should expose the awry assignment.
