I think probably my GPG signature was tripping you up.  I'll try to
disable it for this message.

I'm trying to configure the Windows ODBC driver for MS SQL Server to
use TDS 4.2, and indeed it does seem to be doing that.  I got past the
login problem, and now the src/server/unittest program reports the
following login information:

        host SKLAP
        user guest
        pass sybase
        app  
        srvr sampo
        vers 4.2
        lib  ODBC
        lang 
        char 
        bsiz 0

All of the information there looks right except "bsiz 0".  I was kind of
expecting to see "bsiz 512".  When I run tsql on it, I get "bsiz 512".

By the way, I did have to change unittest.c to make it read the login
packet successfully.  The big secret: Instead of declaring a TDSLOGIN
variable on the stack, I declared a TDSLOGIN* pointer, and then called
tds_login_alloc() to initialize it.  That function sets up the string
fields correctly.

But now the tds_get_query() function is acting weird, in both unittest
and my own little server.  I wish I could provide more detail than just
"weird" but I'm still in the early stages of investigation.  I was hoping
this was due to "bsiz 0" but it happens with tsql too so I guess not.
