Frederick's patch looks like this:

The Sybase libraries' version of ct_results(&restype) also return
CS_END_RESULTS when all the data has been fetched, but it sets the
restype to either CS_CMD_DONE or CS_CMD_FAIL in that situation. The
patch above is needed because FreeTDS sets the restype to some other
value for the final call to ct_results() - which may be a bug in
FreeTDS.
