The application is actually launched from a windows box via a thin
client...I'm not sure how I would run it with strace.
However, I'm fairly sure I'm pulling in the correct one, if I change the
port it fails, as it should. Switch it back and it works. Of all the odbc
entries on the system (from a root level search for both odbc.ini and
.odbc.ini), only the one has this database entry in it at all. And it WILL
connect, just not do what I want it to.
