Hi Bill,

Yes.  Keep two open db-lib bcp connections, writing alternately to one or
the other.  

The data are about companies.  I get a company record, then a bunch of
company time-series details, then another company record, etc.  I keep
enough connections open at once that I can choose my output pipe according
to where I am in the input record.  
I'll simplify first by reducing the test to one connection or the other. 
There are a lot of variables:  quite a lot of newly ported code atop
FreeTDS, new (to me) OS and tools, 64-bit little endian architecture, and
quite a few changes to FreeTDS (although not so much in the BCP system). 
It may take awhile to isolate.

No, no threads.  

It's going to be an interesting day....
