I just had the *brilliant* insight that it must be FreeTDS's problem.  Let
us suppose, for a moment, that Sybase did change the TDS format for bcp'd
rows.  Wouldn't that mean that all Sybase's old bcp utilities would be
unable to connect and upload rows?  

I dont' have ribo, but I do have an 11.5 system around here.  I think I'll
see what tcpdump has to say.
