You're not using TDS 4.2 by any chance?  You need TDS 5.0.  

It's troubling that we're crashing your server (well, any server, really).
 I'd need to see your complete TDSDUMP log, so I can analyze the protocol
vis-a-vis the spec to see if anything seems amiss.  

I don't know anything about Netcool.  If it relies on Sybase OpenServer,
there may be protocol elements we don't support.
