Yes, you do.

Very peculiar.  I actually had that very same thing happen to me with
Microsoft's library.  Turned out the target table had a computed column
defined for it.  I don't know why, but the server accepted every other
row.  

See if you can load 100 rows.  Check your DDL, and check your datafile
with a hex editor to make sure it's delimited exactly as you want (not,
say, with an extra CR before the linefeed).  There's no reason that 100
rows should load successfully and 100 million rows not.  

If the first 100 rows work, try the last 100, and a middle chunk.  It's
something in either the data or the server; it would be a miracle if
FreeTDS could somehow succeed in skipping some rows.  It's hard enough
to parse and load them, let alone dropping some bytes and not upsetting
the protocol.  

If you can narrow down the problem and isolate it to freebcp, I'd be
happy to look at it.  

HTH.
