Right, this does seem to be trivially reproducible in sarge.  It looks like
there's been a change in OpenOffice that triggered it, rather than a
regression in libmyodbc itself; even installing the woody version of
libmyodbc doesn't get me read/write table access with the sarge version of
OOo.

# apt-get install libmyodbc=2.50.39-3

works for me.  It appears that the Release file for woody still says
"stable" instead of "oldstable", so selecting by release doesn't work
currently.

Equally infeasible given the stable release manager's policy on updates.
Also wouldn't help, as noted above.

And downgrading to anything earlier than 3.51.09 would also break
compatibility with MySQL server 4.1.
