Bone_Scavenger and I have been discussing these issues by email as well. There is some weirdness in this install, something that I've not seen before - maybe jfroebe has some ideas?

The t/fail.t errors have to do with non-detected failure to insert a row into a table with declarative constraint. The test tries to insert a row that will violate the constraint and verifies that the correct error is raised. In this case the error is not raised.

The t/main.t error is also related to a forced failure. In this case the test is to try to select from an inexisting table which should return a 208 error code - but we don't get that error code.

In addition Bone_Scavenger has a problem with Sybase errors as seen by DBD::Sybase, in particular the text of the errors are not sent to the script.

At this point the only thing that I can think of is that there is some 64 bit mis-configuration of some sort that causes error codes (integers) in the C code to be mis-interpreted. I'm not really familiar with the Alpha platform, so I don't know if the compiler switches used make sense, or if there is a problem between the perl binary and the Sybase libraries.
