Hi,
using freetds version 0.82 on solaris 10. tsql fails to connect to sql server
named instances as they contain backslashes. Ie.
tsql -S'hostname\instancename' -U joe -P bloggs
A work around is to remove the backslash in freetds.conf. However, this
worked fine in freetds 0.62.4.

The only error is
'There was a problem connecting to the server'.

Its quite important that we maintain the exisiting functionality.

Has anyone else seen this and is there a solution that would avoid using an
unstable version?
