Timeout as in PHP generates some kind of timeout message?
Or is it your browser timing out waiting for a reply from the web  
server?

Can you also reproduce the problem executing your php script from the  
command line?
eg, logged into the new server, in Terminal, try:
php script.php

If it still fails, then you can experiment here a bit easier than  
going through Apache.

For example, you can just dump the debug output to the terminal:
TDSDUMP=stdout php script.php

That shouldn't make a difference unless you actually are using, or  
trying to use, Sybase's libraries rather than FreeTDS on one of the  
servers.

Definitely not.

Yes. If you can only reproduce the problem through Apache, that will  
be your best option.
