libmysql.dll with Borland C++ Builder 6

I've been trying to implement database axis using the C api for a
many-threaded application (several, actually), and keep running into a
problem on server disconnect. One of the main reasons is to get around the
packet size limit of ODBC (which seems to be somewhere around 10MB), which
prevents a few large BLOBs from being inserted into the database (and
retrieved, of course).

While debugging, the call to mysql_close() simply hangs. If I run the
program outside the debugger, it gives an exception.

This is using the libmysql.lib created with Borland's implib.exe utility from
the libmysql.dll file.

I've made a half-hearted attempt to compile libmysql.dll in BCB6, figuring
I'd have a better chance of making it work, but I did not get terribly far.

Anyone know a way to definitely get this working with BCB6?
