I already saw this error. Please try to update freetds. We released 0.62
version 9 month ago. Use 0.62.4 and consider also the patch at
https://lists.ibiblio.org/sympa/arc/freetds/2004q3/016774.html
0.61-1 suggests me that you are using rpm version, you can compile tar
with rpm using

rpmbuild -ta freetds-0.62.4.tar.gz

(this require unixODBC and unixODBC-devel installed)
