Python ODBC interface crash on connection failure to MS SQL

[Sophy]

Hi,

I would appreciate ur advice on this problem that i am facing. 
I am running a python application and using the MSSQL database through
a python ODBC interface. I find that the python ODBC interface crashes
whenever there is a connection failure to the MSSQL. I get an "unable
to read memory" message coming up and a print message "disconnected"
which i later found in the ODBC.cpp source file in the method
odbcPrintError() which handles the dbi errors.
I use the same with MySQL and dont seem to have any problems with
connection failure handling.

Can somebody advice me as to how i can resolve this issue.

Thanks
Sophy
