Looks like I'll never repeat this often enough...

***** You can't set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the script itself *****

If your script NEEDS LD_LIBRARY_PATH to be set to a special value (to
make sure that the Sybase libraries are found at run-time) you MUST
set LD_LIBRARY_PATH *before* the script starts. With Apache this means 
using a

SetEnv	LD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/sybase/lib

statement in one of the configuration files so that Apache sets the
variable before running the CGI scripts.
