Good day everyone. I am seeing the following segmentation fault with a
FreeTDS 0.91RC2 + pymssql HG tip setup. I originally started trying
these newer versions to try to get around a similar segfault with
FreeTDS 0.82 + pymssql 1.02. The database is mssql 2005. I see this
segfault about every 3 days or so.

Start.py[24106]: segfault at 0 ip b718f6b6 sp bfaf8670 error 6 in
_mssql.so[b7189000+2c000]
python[12549]: segfault at 0 ip b70df6c8 sp bfcf5ad0 error 6 in
_mssql.so[b70d9000+2c000]

If anyone has some input on this, it would be greatly appreciated. I
would be happy to try any particular log settings to capture
additional information.

Some settings from freetds.conf :

<<

[global]
        # TDS protocol version
;       tds version = 7.2
        tds version = 8.0
        port=1433

        # Whether to write a TDSDUMP file for diagnostic purposes
        # (setting this to /tmp is insecure on a multi-user system)
;       dump file = /tmp/freetds.log
; see http://www.freetds.org/userguide/freetdsconf.htm for flags
;       debug flags = 0x0006

        # Command and connection timeouts
;       timeout = 10
;       connect timeout = 10

        # If you get out-of-memory errors, it may mean that your client
        # is trying to allocate a huge buffer for a TEXT field.
        # Try setting 'text size' to a more reasonable limit
        text size = 64512
