Was the cause and/or solution to this problem ever figured out?  I'm definitely seeing null terminated strings as well and have been searching the net for a solution or workaround.  The null characters are present in all text fields and not in numeric fields.

I'm using freetds 0.62.1, DBD::Sybase 1.02, and DBI 1.41 with Perl 5.8.2.  If it's relevant, I'm going up against Netcool Omnibus (a Sybase-like database from Micromuse).

Looks like a problem with null-terminating strings (or not, as the case
may be). I'll look at the DBD::Sybase code to see if there is something
that I should be doing.
