Bill, thanks very much for looking into this.  

I added a bcp unit test.  I wrote most of it yesterday, and this morning it
works.  Or, rather, it fails.  It's late where you are, so you'll probably
wait until tomorrow to have a look, at which point it should be in the
snapshot.  Maybe even working, who knows?  

The difficulty atm is bcp_batch().  If I send 10 rows followed by
bcp_done(), all is well.  If I say "bcp_batch(dbproc); bcp_done(dbproc)", I
get all kinds of trouble.  

BTW, I recoded _bcp_get_term_var().  It can't return -1, because it doesn't
know where the end of the data is.  The best we can do is detect an overflow
in bufpos, in which case we're hosed anyway, so I just assert.  Chances are
we'll segfault before we even get that far.
