DCO2 Oracle 8.0.5 volunteers
I'm looking for people to volunteer to prove that Oracle 8.0.5
OCIDescribeAny call on Linux is busted. My contention is that anyone who
tries to use it will encounter a segfault in kpudsany().

Contrariwise, I'm looking for people who have Oracle 8.0 on non-linux
platforms to confirm that my workaround for Oracle 8.0 and OCIDescribeAny
does work for them.

Anyone interested in volunteering needs to have a C compiler capable of
building DCO2 on their platform, and should have Oracle 8.0.X client
libraries and headers installed.

Hm... I'll see what I can do about this... I'd have to set up a special
machine for that, but it may be doable.

Sorry no luck here. But I can test, in the not so distant future, a Soalris
box with oracle 9i.
