Anh-vu, 

I think you're out of luck, my friend.  TDS 4.2 crashes ASE 12.5, and our
connection pool supports only TDS 4.2.  

There are two ways out.  One is to add TDS 5.0 support to the pool.  That's
been on the TODO for two years, and no one is working on it AFAIK.  The
other is easier: to determine why our TDS 4.2 implementation crashes ASE
12.5.  It's mostly a matter of comparing tcpdump(8) traces for each
implementation and locating what it is that we do differently.  

I believe there are ODBC connection pooling projects.  Perhaps something
like that will do the job for you.  Sorry I can't be more help.
