That's right, I remember now.  It's also a footnote in the freetds.conf
section of the UG.  That much is documented.

Maybe.  I just spent a little while looking for where we pick up the
servername and send it to the server (as app_name or the database name). 
I didn't find it.  I would be nice to rid FreeTDS of this particular quirk
if we can.
