Hi Valdas, thanks for helping out.
I didn't make clear - this crash is happening at connect time, I'm never
actually able to establish retrieve an ODBCConnection object back from
the connection attempt, so I'm pretty sure it's unrelated to cursors in
the DB. To double-check that sort of thing I'm running a dedicated test
database on an otherwise unused box, and I've tried stopping the
database completely and restarting it before loading the Squeak image
and attempting a connection. Result: Squeak still crashes. I'm positive
that the C in the Intersystems' ODBC driver is tramping on Squeak somehow.
Cheers,
Simon
