Gads, you're saying your 0.63 system can connect with TDS 8.0, and your
0.82 system can't?  I'd like to see both those dumps, for sure.  

We may have to patch both systems to dump the login packet, and/or get a
bona fide tcpdump of the connection.  But let's try the easy thing first,
and just look at two ordinary dumps that are logging in to the same server
with the same protocol version.
