freetds-dev on Solaris

I am currently using DBD::Sybase v1.01 with freetds-0.61.2 on solaris 2.7
and solaris 2.9 configured with tdsver 4.2 to connect to a Microsoft SQL
2000 server.

As Michael Peppler notes in the bugs section of his "README.freetds",
FreeTDS 0.61 has a bug when executing queries that return 0 rows.

To get around this, i tried installing freetds-0.62.dev.20031124 (as well as
20031108).
 On my Solaris 2.7 box (perl 5.6.1), when i run any perl script using the
freetds 20031124, i get:
Assertion failed: 0, file iconv.c, line 343
Abort

On my Solaris 2.9 box (perl 5.8.2) i receive very whacky results

i have noticed that when the first $sth->fetchrow_hashref in the following
script returns 0 rows, the following fetchrow's all seem to work.  when the
first $sth->fetchrow_hashref returns something, the following fail, in some
way ($row->{filename} is always blank)

i have replicated the problem in these ~40 lines of code:

broken code:  http://www.jeremykister.com/jeremy/code/perl/broken.pl



any ideas?
