[Mono-devel-list] [Patch]Bug in TDS 7.0 protocol implementation (SQL Server)

[Jörg Rosenkranz]

Hello,

I have found a bug in the TDS 7.0 implementation. If a string 
with length 0xFF (255) is returned it is interpreted as special
value. The TDS implementation returns null and all subsequent
data fields are not interpreted correctly.

I have filed following bug for this behaviour:
http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=49835

I have attached a patch to solve this problem. I don't know
why there have been a check 'len == 0xFF'. After removing it
the test program works against SQL Server 7.0 and SQL Server
2000.

Can someone please review and commit this patch?

Thanks,
Jörg.
