I'm getting flaky behaviour from one query. It will fail with a tds token error, but 
it cannot be recreated on the next run for the same data. To wit:

20030803.02:01:34: Portia::Utils::portfolioInfo
                 : Cannot execute statement
                 : 1>

                 : 3>        ,symbol = symbol
                 : 4>        ,portfolio = portfolio
                 : 5>        ,account_no = pmf_string_06
                 : 6>        ,fiscal_begin = convert(varchar,fiscal_begin,101)
                 : 7>        ,acct_period_end = acct_period_end
                 : 8>        ,live_on_portia = convert(varchar,pmf_date_03,101)
                 : 9>        ,live_on_portia_plus = convert(varchar,pmf_date_04,101)
                 : 10> from   pmf

                 : 12> and    symbol = '10008'

                 : err => 28
                 : execute_retval =>
                 : handleType => statement
                 : OpenClient message: LAYER = (4) ORIGIN = (1) SEVERITY = (5) NUMBER

                 : Message String: ct_results(): protocol specific layer: external

I had similar problems with the same query for a while under perl 5.004, but the error 
message was to the effect that no statement was executing, when the statement did 
execute and there
was data to be found. I worked around that in my code by ignoring the error if I had 
data, but this is entirely different.

The funny thing is, it feels like a timing issue - I am running consecutive queries 
too fast. I know that sounds nuts, but when the server is bogged down, I never get 
these problems - only
when the server is real quiet and this is basically the only process running.
