Someone was burning the midnight oil....

My last information was that your test boxes run unixODBC-2.2.6, and
Freddy tells us unixODBC-2.2.7 is just broken, and not only for FreeTDS. 
Is that accurate?  

Nice work, Nick, and thanks.  I know you were nervous about releasing
broken code, and I'm glad your paranoia (if I may call it that) :-) drove
you to confirm the tests independently.  I'm sure your testing will save
many people who grab 0.62 a lot of confusion and headache.
