Freddy,

hope you had a nice coffee.

The patch was to do with "native" format bcp files, and the
representation of NULL values therein.
Your data file for t0017.in is a kind of "native" format, so it's
falling into this code.
I don't like this code much.

Bill

Now... what this patch should fix? I'm trying to get a reply from
