Description:
I profiled our code which calls SQLTables using Rational Purify and it always
shows huge memory leaks every time that SQLTables is called - it seems that the
problem is always reported with SQLTables and then the Kernel level APIs as the
root of the leak.

How to repeat:
Create a table in database on the server, use the same version of the MyODBC driver and call SQLTables as follows:

      ret = SQLTables(hstmt,
                      NULL, SQL_NTS,
                      NULL,SQL_NTS, 
                      tableName, SQL_NTS,
                      NULL, SQL_NTS);

Profile the code with a tool such as Rational Purify to see the memory leak.

This is a duplicate of Bug #26932.
