mssql_execute problems

Hey All,

System:  RH9, Apache 1.3.27, PHP 4.3.2, FreeTDS 0.61 connecting to a Win2K 
Server, MSSQL Server 2K

Problem: mssql_execute hangs when run.  The script just never comes back.

The code is as follows:
$macn = mssql_connect("SERVER", "UID", "PWD");
mssql_select_db("DB");
$stmt = mssql_init("dbo.Grade2_GET", $macn);
$result = mssql_execute($stmt);

I have compiled PHP with the --with-mssql option so it does find the functions. 
Also, the Stored Proc will run just fine if executed via mssql_query().  But, I
have some stored procedures that have output parameters and thus I need to use 
mssql_execute().  I have searched rather extensively on the 'net, and have seen 
a couple of posts about people saying that it works correctly for them, but I 
am unable to get it to work. I have even gone as far as to try the nightly 
build 
of FreeTDS (0.62) just to see.

We have used SQL Profiler to trace the incoming connection, and it
pushes through correctly when mssql_query() is used.  However, when
mssql_execute() is used, the Profiler does not detect anything.  It
appears that the problem is with the mssql_execute() function as
everything operates correctly up until the execution of this function. 
I am not sophisticated enough to be able to verify this however.

Also, my env includes TDSVER = 7.0 per documentation.

I have also tried to downgrade to FreeTDS 0.53 but then PHP does not
recognize all of the mssql functions...

Does anyone have any ideas?  I am currently stumped and cannot seem to
find any answers via research...

If it helps, following is the FreeTDS log:
