Try to use a recent snapshot. 
I assure that is more stable then old version :) 
Many fixes went in CVS. I know that is not the declared stable version but I
seldom do buffer overflow checks (using ElectricFence), add more tests and
do a "make check" before every commit, so is quite stable. Also ODBC have
seem many improvements in this version (for example error code rewritted and
odbc version 3 support). 
Some week ago I tried with an HP/UX machine (little-endian, with align
check) and fixed some problems...
Also try to use TDS7/8 instead of TDS 4.2.
