thanks freedy and cedric for your quick response. Although that works, I'm in 
a difficult situation where I need it to work as before. I won't go into all 
the details but I have an existing app that not only uses freetds as its 
intended but also parses it and uses it within an application. I can't alter 
the app and need the functionality we have been using up to now.
Do you know if the problem I have is a bug or a feature?

Try -H instead of -S
