I will check out numeric.c, thanks.  I'll give a bit more info in hopes it
can help you, or others replicate the problem.

I make a query and ask for 3000 rows.  all the results returned are
numeric.  at about row 2000 i have a numeric value that is 10 bits.
4444238300  

from there, the rest of the values that are returned after that value are
skewed.  usually resulting in a 9 bit number.  needless to say, all the
data returned is not correct.  

I compiled with tdsver=7.0 and use it in conjunction with a mssql 2000
machine.  testing it against sql 7.0 reproduces the same results.

hope this helps.  
Thanks again
