I'm introducing some internal tests in libTDS. I didn't encounter big
problems (like current_results one) however I noted that when type it's
numeric it seems that value of TDSCOLUMN->column_*_size haven't a real
standard... sometimes it's set to sizeof(TDS_NUMERIC) (getting normal
result), sometimes to size returned by server (getting parameters).
This do not seems to cause problems to our tests (and ODBC use others
structures) however from an archive mail it seems that this cause some
problems for ctlib, see

(related to ct_bind)

Bill, can you do some tests?
