The problem is that MS-SQL has changed the protocol, and screws up the
data for datetime values.
There isn't really anything I can do - I use the Sybase OpenClient
convert functions to handle things...
You can use convert(), or you can use the FreeTDS libraries to build
sybperl (FreeTDS has a special switch for this, I think).
