Problem with special characters in password when using SQLDriverConnect

Hello,
 
if you use SQLDriverConnect instead of SQLConnect the connection fails on special characters like ';', '(', ')' and
'+'(?)within the password. 
 
According to the documentation ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms715433%28v=vs.85%29.aspx )
[]{}(),;?*=!@ are special characters. 
 
In order to pass the connection string to the driver intact you have to bracket the whole connection string ( or just
thevalues ? - it looks like my English is not good enough for this article ). 
 
There already had been a patch in 09.00.0100 but this problem obviously persists in psqlODBC 09.01.0100 Unicode. Maybe
thishas been patched in the ANSI version only? 

Backslashes are still a problem? I wonder whether standard_conforming_strings has an effect on embedded backslashes.
 
Could you check, please?
 
Thank you very much,
 
Peter
