Actually, Ravi, it looks like a bug, for which you found a workaround.  We 
expect TDSVER=8.0 to work and we expect TDSVER=8 to fail.  It might be 
specific to Solaris.  Could you please try the following in gdb:

$ export TDSVER=8.0
$ gdb tsql
(gdb) set arg -H 192.168.2.24 -p 1433 -U user_name -P password
(gdb) run
[exception message]
(gdb) bt
[interesting stack trace]

I'd like to know what function caused the exception.
