Hi all,
I found a strange problem in DBI::type_info().
I don't know much of DBI internals. Only found that "sometimes",
the 'type_info_all' structure returned by the driver is
mangled by some shift() that happens in DBI::type_info().
This happens only for DBD::Informix driver (2003.04, but last version
still has the problem), while for example, DBD::Pg doesn't show
the problem.
The following patch solves the problem, and I think shows also
the reason why.
I don't know whether it's more appropriate to apply this patch
to DBI or to modify DBD::Informix::TypeInfo to return a new structure
every time. [...]
FTR: This was the reason for this patch:

Well, safety vs. efficiency - Tim should decide.
