Correct.  :-(

I think db-lib would respond correctly to your handler, but it's not clear
that libtds is sending a timeout message.

Well, it would be nice if the above worked....

dbpoll() is Sybase's equivalent to dbdataready().  It's not implemented, but
appears to be a thin wrapper around poll(2), which shouldn't be too hard to
set up.  If you're not up to writing dbpoll() send us a unit test and I'll
see what I can do.
