I don't know - I've emailed the list maintainer about it.

Try to look for a file called bcp.err in the BCP directory - it should
have a row with the data that failed to go in. I've seen other
errors with BCP and NT, but not this one, so I'm curious...
You can check the rest of the system by running the other tests
manually:
cd c:\sybperl-2.09\DBlib
c:\perl\bin\perl -Mblib -Ic:\perl\lib t\dblib.t
etc (look in the t\ directory of the DBlib and CTlib directories to
see which tests exist).
