Create View, varied results depending on row size

This is the same issue as deinfed in http://www.dbforums.com/t987543.html

I've done some additional testing and got it down to the below

SQL2000 DB
Linked Server to DB2 using client access odbc, and MS OLE DB for ODBC

Varied results depending on the row size of the views.

See the below examples.

CREATE VIEW BLHDR_TEST
AS
SELECT STNST
FROM LURCH_PARADB.S102D4LM.PARADB.BLHDR

STNST CHAR(25)

TOTAL ROW WIDTH (25)

SELECT * FROM BLHDR_TEST

Returns 20971 rows * 25 = 524,725

CREATE VIEW BLHDR_TEST
AS
SELECT STNSHTNAM, STNST
FROM LURCH_PARADB.S102D4LM.PARADB.BLHDR

STNSHTNAM CHAR(12)
STNST CHAR(25)

TOTAL ROW WIDTH (37)

SELECT * FROM BLHDR_TEST

Returns 14169 rows * 37 = 524,253

CREATE VIEW BLHDR_TEST
AS
SELECT STNADD1, STNSHTNAM, STNST
FROM LURCH_PARADB.S102D4LM.PARADB.BLHDR

STNADD1 CHAR(40)
STNSHTNAM CHAR(12)
STNST CHAR(25)

TOTAL ROW WIDTH (77)

SELECT * FROM BLHDR_TEST

Returns 6808 rows * 77 = 524,216

CREATE VIEW BLHDR_TEST
AS
SELECT STNCTY,STNADD1, STNSHTNAM, STNST
FROM LURCH_PARADB.S102D4LM.PARADB.BLHDR

STNCTY CHAR(25)
STNADD1 CHAR(40)
STNSHTNAM CHAR(12)
STNST CHAR(25)

TOTAL ROW WIDTH (102)

SELECT * FROM BLHDR_TEST

Returns 5140 rows * 102 = 524,280

Test #1 Returns 20971 rows * 25 = 524,725
Test #2 Returns 14169 rows * 37 = 524,253
Test #3 Returns 6808 rows * 77 = 524,216
Test #4 Returns 5140 rows * 102 = 524,280

With the similarity of the total byte count returned, I would assume that a buffer or something is being overrun, is this a configuration parameter possibly.

If I perform the select against the linked table as such

Select * (for fields list)
From LURCH_PARADB.S102D4LM.PARADB.BLHDR

I get all rows returned. The issue only exist when accessing the views that are created against the linked server.

Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated.I duplicated the setup on 2000 server, sql2000 and all functions as expected.

It's related to 2003 server.

I'm hitting a 512k limit in the result set returned from the views.
