RE: Problem with data type conversions and FreeTDS

The freetds log shows this:

<snip>
2003-07-30 15:47:05.748766 Connecting addr 5.0.8.210 port 1433 with TDS
version 8.0
</snip>

The value from tds_convert when the srctype is SYBUNIQUE is -4 - any
ideas what this means? Where is the #define associated with -4 !?
