  I have reduced my dblib problem considerably and even have a
workaround, so if you can't replicate it, or fix it, I'm ok.  Still, I
would like to make freetds better, so I'm sending this off with
great hope.

First the table def:

create table table1
(i1 varchar(4) null,
 family varchar(1) null)
go

Then the insert statement:

insert into table1(i1, family) values ('I64', 'Y');

Now the program:

main(int argc, char** argv) {
  DBPROCESS *dbproc;
  LOGINREC *login;
  DBCHAR i1[5], family;

...

  dbcmd(dbproc, "select i1, family from table1 ");
  dbsqlexec(dbproc);
  if(dbresults(dbproc) == SUCCEED) {
    dbbind(dbproc, 1, STRINGBIND, (DBINT)0, (BYTE*) i1);
    dbbind(dbproc, 2, CHARBIND, (DBINT)0, (BYTE*) &family);

    dbnextrow(dbproc);
    printf("%s\n", i1);
  }
}

In its present state, the program prints nothing.  However, if I
change family to a string:

  DBCHAR i1[5], family[2];

and bind it thus:

    dbbind(dbproc, 2, STRINGBIND, (DBINT)0, (BYTE*) family);

The printf works and spits out I64.  Thank you one and all for your
time and consideration.  Let me know if I can provide further
clues.
