It looks like it was a mis-install on our system. The problem stemmed 
from either one of two things: 1. About a month ago I installed version 
0.63 of freetds in the wrong place and, realizing my mistake, I 
re-configured and re-installed in the correct place but I neglected to 
clean up the files and libraries in the incorrect install directories. 
2. There were some old lib files in the freetds/lib directory (such as 
libtds.so.3.0) that were not removed on new installs.

I am not really sure why either of these would be the culprit, but I 
cleaned up all the files and the problem seems to have gone away.

I figured this out by noticing that changes to the locales.conf were not 
being reflected in the output.
