+This has been sitting here for a while and untouched, so perhaps I
+should elaborate some more...
+
+ODBC drivers assume the ColumnSize parameter is an unsigned integer. 
+By setting it to a short in the Mono code, the previous parameter (the
+DataType) gets overridden with the upper bits from the ColumnSize. 
+Usually this means that a DataType of 0 gets returned no matter what,
+making the results very hard to decipher.
