Thank you.  The calloc call is in a subfunction, with the following local 
variables:

   p_nbblk: count     
   p_size: sizeof(Con_area)

The code therein, with added debugging info (four attempts to narrow down the 
problem), is:

bufp = (char *) calloc (1, 1); // Attempt #1: Smallest possible calloc
printf("%d: %d: %d, %s\n", __LINE__, bufp, errno, strerror(errno));
if (bufp) free(bufp);
bufp = (char *) calloc (4, 184); // Attempt #2: Actual values of what we 
should be allocating
printf("%d: %d: %d, %s\n", __LINE__, bufp, errno, strerror(errno));
if (bufp) free(bufp);
size_t a = p_nbblk, b=p_size;
bufp = (char *) calloc (a, b); // Attempt #3: using temporary variables
printf("%d: %d: %d, %s\n", __LINE__, bufp, errno, strerror(errno));
if (bufp) free(bufp);
        bufp = (char *) calloc ((size_t) p_nbblk, (size_t) p_size); // 
Attempt #4: Actual code
printf("%d: %d: %d, %s\n", __LINE__, bufp, errno, strerror(errno));

 * The first attempt works
 * The second attempt works
 * The third attempt fails, errno 12
 * The fourth attempt fails, errno 12

So, as you can see, passing in the value of "count" returned from the select 
statement and fetched by dbnextrow causes a failure.

int32 is defined as:

  typedef long int int32;

I can't speak to what the standard is supposed to do, I can only attest to 
the fact that the code worked when linked with sybase and is no longer 
working now that I'm trying to use it with FreeTDS.

 - kv, Karen

I don't know your system but I suppose that sizeof(int) == 4 and
sizeof(long) == 8 and you are doing something bad with printf. INTBIND
is supposed to write a 4 byte integer. Explaining what's going on
requires to understand how does variadic functions work and the
architecture you are using.
I cannot see the calloc call.
How is defined the int32? Usually DBINT is safer.
