+--TEST--
+Checks that calling query() after beginTransaction() with an invalid query does not cause a crash. Fix for Github 434.
+--DESCRIPTION--
+Calling beginTransaction() and then query() with an invalid query can cause a crash in php.exe or php-cgi.exe,
+which may manifest as a CLI crash or produce an error message saying "Faulting Module[...]odbc32.dll". The
+cause is an attempt to double free a statement handle after script execution which had not been properly freed
+during rollback. This test tells us nothing under run-tests.php because the crash only occurs at the end of
+script execution, so any expected output already exists and the test would pass. Therefore manual verification
+is necessary - this test should be run separately to verify no crash occurs.

+Checks that calling sqlsrv_query() after sqlsrv_begin_transaction() with an invalid query does not cause a crash.

+In PDO_SQLSRV, calling beginTransaction() and then query() with an invalid query can cause a crash in php.exe or

+The equivalent sequence of operations in SQLSRV is not known to crash - this test is for verification. This test
