Yet another odbc on 64 bit crash because of wrong buffer size. This is
supposed to be a SQLLEN but was hardcoded as 4 bytes.

You can see that e.g. in
connectivity/source/drivers/odbcbase/OPreparedStatement.cxx,
OPreparedStatement::setNull:

    sal_Int8* lenBuf = getLengthBuf (parameterIndex);
    *(SQLLEN*)lenBuf = SQL_NULL_DATA;

getLengthBuf just returns the paramLength member of the corresponding
OBoundParam.

On my machine in my (debug) build, that (or maybe some other piece of
code, such as
  line 875:  memcpy (lenBuf, &atExec, sizeof (atExec));
  line 882:      N3SQLBindParameter(m_aStatementHandle,
                        (SQLUSMALLINT)ParameterIndex,
                        (SQLUSMALLINT)SQL_PARAM_INPUT,
                        Ctype,
                        (SQLSMALLINT)SQLtype,
                        (SQLULEN)length,
                        0,
                        dataBuf,
                        sizeof(ParameterIndex),
                        (SQLLEN*)lenBuf);
)
would overwrite malloc's metadata, and thus in the OBoundParameter destructor:
    delete [] paramLength;
would call abort() because "bad pointer".

Please apply to libreoffice-3-4 and libreoffice-3-5.

Thanks,

BTW, even after "export MALLOC_CHECK_=3", I wouldn't get free() to
properly complain on stderr, gdb showed malloc_printerr called with
action=2 instead of action=3. Quid?
