Description:
------------
When using the Microsoft ODBC driver for SQL Server on Linux (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh568451%28v=sql.110%29.aspx)

Calling odbc_result() on an nvarchar(max) type results in a memory exhausted error as PHP is trying to allocate 4Go of RAM (the max size of an nvarchar type).

This seems to happen in the file ext/odbc/php_odbc.c line 2148 :
- the type nvarchar(max) is not recognized in the code, so the switch falls back in the default case
- and the value of result->values[field_ind].vallen is 4Go

I don't know whether the problem comes from the PHP code, the unixODBC code, or the Microsoft code...

Test script:
---------------
Any odbc_result() call on a non-empty nvarchar(max) type should do the trick and generate a memory exhauted error.

I have a similar problem on Windows 2008 Server.

Running odbc_exec on a nvarchar(max) col in MSSQL crashes PHP 5.5
This was working on PHP 5.4

Error message:
-------------------------
PHP Fatal error:  Out of memory (allocated 786432) (tried to allocate 4294967293 bytes) in ....dbFunction.inc.php on line 27
-------------------------

When the field is nvarchar(4000) everything works.
