It's a parallel install. I have IQ, 12.5.1#2, 12.5.2 and the latest
12.5.1 SDK installed in different directories here. The error occurs
when using the libs from the 12.5.2 distribution and a 12.5.2 server
(though I suspect the same error would occur using these libs with a
12.5.1 or earlier server, as the error is in the client libs, not the
server).
