Hi David, 

Thanks for working on this.  I don't have time right at the moment to
give your revised tests the attention they deserve.  I'd like to work up
a patch for Michael.

I should have been more precise.  If you control your transactions via
SQL with BEGIN TRAN & COMMIT, no problem.  They supersede the Autocommit
setting, and DBI/DBD::Sybase don't attempt to interpret the SQL.  So
that works.  

Trying to control transactions via ct_options(), as t/exec.t does, fails
with FreeTDS.

I fetched these and started to look at some diffs.  I'll get back to
you.  

Regards,
