Correction: while the message comes from the server, Laco is right that
it is a function of the capabilities sent after the login.  See my
message on this ML of 16 November 2011, and Ludo's reply wherein he
confirms that modified capabilities solve the problem.  Patches
welcome!  :-)

The news to me is that the Sybase *server* will return errors based on
a capabability that the library declared.  Useful to remember, even
though the server-side validation serves no purpose in this case.
