Another regression, fix unknown so far.  Between the same two revisions, the 
following has broken.

Before:

nortonp@sys4 17:04 ~/work/odbc_tests $ ./test_mssql_select.py
Testing sybase
[('SYBQA1', )]
Testing mssql
[('DBDEVNYC2', )]

After upgrading to 0.83.dev.20100902 or later:

Testing sybase
[('SYBQA1', )]
Testing mssql
[(u'DDVY', )]

I haven't narrowed this down to a particular changeset yet.
