I don't see how that's possible, Bill.  Perhaps I'm misreading the docs or
the code.  

hndlintr is supposed to be called while the library is waiting for the
server to respond.  goodread() doesn't call it until after the query
timeout.  

For this query:

        declare @now datetime, @then datetime
        select @then = dateadd(second, 15, getdate())
        while( @then > getdate )
                select @now = getdate()
        
and given a query timeout of 30 seconds, how many times does Sybase's
db-lib call hndlintr?  We'd never call it, afaict.
