I had a little play with it a month ago I think, it looks like the Sybase
adaptor is using some old Sybase libraries, whose API has changed in the
meanwhile ... leaving it broken ...  the best thing probably is -
rewriting it using newer libraries (the so-called ct libraries I think).

I don't have the time to do this work right now, but if you want to work
on it, I might find time to help you with it and/or try out your new code
and debug it.
