Well, don't be shocked if Frediano offers a patch pretty soon.  It
wouldn't be the first time.  But I don't want to speak for him.   

The unixODBC folks could send us a patch, I suppose, just as anyone else
can, but it's a low-level problem in our driver.  It would take them
awhile, and it's not their problem or their code.  

Meanwhile, are you sure PHP sybase doesn't work with ASA?  I can't see
what the matter would be; they're going through FreeTDS all the same.  

(It would be cool, and is technically feasible, to open a connection with
one library and continue processing it with another, something like
fdopen(3).  But we don't support that.  Yet.)

HTH.
