I think it would be preferable if dblib in the current development version
wouldn't just crash the host process with an assertion if a connection
attempt times out.
dbutil.c:193: _dblib_check_and_handle_interrupt: Assertion `dbproc != ((void
*)0) && !dbdead((dbproc))' failed.

For example, doing a
bsqldb -S microsoft.com
or trying any other firewalled or non-responsive address.

Returning INT_CANCEL on DBDEAD in _dblib_check_and_handle_interrupt seems to
be nicer.
