I see. Well, what baffled me so was that I ran freetds without any
configuration of my own, with only the default config file - and with no
parameters.

Sure. I just figured compiling in --with-odbc might have something to do
with it.

I see, I have now made a note to check the README file properly before
hitting a web page :) 

Turning on logging didn't give me any logs. I did it in both the config
files and with export TDSDUMP=/tmp/tds.log. 

Here is the output from systrace:

I don't know if that will help pinpointing what is wrong. I do hope
someone on this list can help me though!
