That would be the easy way out. There are, however, two arguments
against that:

1. Previous iODBC releases apparently got this right, so we might be
breaking those releases.

2. Using SQLLEN for an attribute number is just plain wrong.

I suggest that those interested in this issue first contact the iODBC
authors and check why it was done this way.
