Hmm.  When you set up your RH8 box, did you get a newer version of PHP,
too?

That's not good.  :-(  I'm happy to fix it if I can; just please
understand that I'm a bit disadvantaged, because I don't speak Japanese.

There shouldn't be any limit, but there may be some confusion regarding
character count and buffer size.  Perhaps we've just been lucky so far. 
:-/  Or maybe there's an implementation problem we haven't been aware of. 


When you configured FreeTDS, did it detect and use your system's libiconv?
 You can check in config.log.  

Can you force the failure using tsql, and can you post a TDSDUMP log of
the session?  That will give us something to work with.
