Dont't overlook the -e option to freebcp.  It should write an error to
the error file whenever a data problem is encountered.  

13,000,000 rows, though.  Not bad.  When we started, one row was a
triumph.  

If you have time to test it later, I'd be interested to know if the
lastest snapshot, which includes Frediano's patch for >2 GB files,
allows you to upload the whole file without splitting it.  (I hope
you're using the -b option!)
