bug in DBD::ODBC

bug in DBD::ODBC

dbdimp.c has this line:
            if (rc == SQL_SUCCESS || rc == SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO)
                fprintf(DBILOGFP, "SQLDriverConnect failed: %s %s\n", sqlstate, ErrorMsgLen);
this crashes immediately when exercised, because it is printing an int as a string
(isn't there a gcc warning level that checks for such things?)

i found this by doing:
DBI->trace(4);
my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:ODBC:ib6',undef,undef,{RaiseError=>1});
DBI->trace(0);

and the reason i was doing *that* is because with debug on, dbdimp.c appears
to be properly calling SQLError, which it otherwise doesn't do, leaving the
first connect's error uncleared. I don't understand it all, but nick gorham does;
see the thread "Re: wrong error code for missing table condition" on news://news.easysoft.com/easysoft.public.ib6-odbc
