My system does not have an 'ident' command;
        The system is;
                Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 8)
                Kernel 2.4.21-20.ELsmp on an i686

The ident tag line in the source is;
        TDS_RCSID(var, "$Id: net.c,v 1.37 2005/12/05 06:01:59 freddy77
Exp $");

We want the tag from the file where you found the working code.  You can
do one of two things.  

1.  Run ident(1) on the file.  That's what this is doing:

        $ ident src/tds/net.c
        src/tds/net.c:
             $Id: net.c,v 1.49 2006/11/28 17:04:28 jklowden Exp $

(ident works on binaries, too, btw.  Try it on tsql or maybe your
kernel.)

2.  Look at the code.  Near the top, you should see something with
"$Id:" in it:

$ grep -n \$Id: src/tds/net.c
101: TDS_RCSID(var, "$Id: net.c,v 1.49 2006/11/28 17:04:28 jklowden Exp
$");

I guess line 101 is "near the top", eh?

(We don't keep old snapshots around.  I know from the version label (and
folder name) that yours was generated on February 24, 2006.  That gives
me a hint which CVS revision it contains, but the CVS tag is more
reliable.)

Thanks.
