DBD::Informix test failure for lvarchar

[This is my second attempt to post. First was refused for overly- long attachment.]


Hello.

I hope I have enough information here for someone to assist with a DBD::Informix problem.


I am installing DBD::Informix on a Solaris 8 host. We have a 32-bit Perl 5.8.6, compiled with gcc 3.4.3. The Informix Client SDK is 2.90UC4 (32-bit SPARC).

The Informix server, on a Solaris 9 host, is IDS 10.00.FC4 (64-bit SPARC).

I ran into a problem with test t/t93lvarchar.t. It appears that the script is failing to retrieve values for columns of type "lvarchar not null". Otherwise, the build and tests seem just fine.


What is the status of this anomaly? (I saw similar postings dating from 2002-2005.)
Is this anything to be concerned about if I have no columns of type "lvarchar not null"?
Any recommendations?

A bug report for "D t/t93lvarchar.t" is attached.

Thank you for your assistance.
