Unable to retrieve VARCHAR data in wchar_t buffer

Hello all,
My database has a single table with a single column of the type
VARCHAR(20). I insert one record into this table through the command
line and then I try to retrieve this record through ODBC API.

I bind a wchar_t structure to this column with the type as SQL_C_WCHAR
using SQLBindCol. But when SQLFetchScroll returns, the buffer is still
empty.

I am trying this on Redhat Linux 9.0 with unixODBC-2.2.3-6,
MyODBC-3.51.09 and MySQL-server-4.0.21-0.

The exact same code works fine on Windows.

Could someone tell me what could be going wrong.

Thanks,
Raman
