I know. My email has been a bit screwey this past few days -- Changed DNS
servers and all email from/to the lists got backed up, so the message I
sent to you is just making the list today....  I am getting confused here
just trying to keep incoming email straight right now :-(.

I am sure that there is a bug somewhere, but it seems to be fairly 
isolated; I am just worried about what happens when people try to use this 
in production envionment.   

We need a release, but I have seen this too, I can get a segfault
on some compiles, but for me it only shows up in clean-up after the
croak() for SQL_BINARY not being supported. 

Tim, Any thoughts on this?

Maybe... But it would be nice to try and fix this before a release, 
anyway.
