I am experiencing inconsistencies within ActiveRecord when retrieving  
from a SQL Server table using the FreeTDS driver.

The following dump from an interactive console session shows the  
issue.

$ script/console  
Loading development environment (Rails 2.0.2)

> > n = Network.find(3)  
> > =\> #\<Network id: 3, country\_id: 1, short\_description: “Orange”,  
> > description: “Orange”, carefone\_code: "OR "\>
> 
> > n = Network.find(3)  
> > =\> #\<Network id: 3, country\_id: 1, short\_description: “Orange”,

> > n = Network.find(3)

> > quit

What happened to my network ID the third time the find was run?

This happens across a lot of models and at inconsistent times. The  
only consistent thing is that the affected fields are all ints.

Has anyone experiences anything like this before?
