I reverted that just now.  Thanks for getting it right.

For now, until I hear from Bill, if bcp_done is called twice, it just
returns an error (-1).  It used to invoke the error handler.  

The programmer deserves to be told the function was called in
error.  It is analogous to EBADF for close(2).

Er, no, bcp_done() returns DBINT, number of rows returned.  Similar to
ffush(3).  Maybe it *should* be a boolean, like fclose(3), but that's
another story.

tds.h    144 #define TDS_SUCCESS 1

Your enum awaits, sire.  ;-)
