Freddy & James-
        Thanks for the tip on specifying the TDS Version in tsql - it
was running version 4.2, and specifying 8.0 enabled the problem queries
to run fine.  isql runs the same queries without trouble (and always
has), but PHP is still crashing.  

        I'm beginning to think this is a PHP bug rather than a freeTDS
bug....  Do you agree?

        I'm reading up on how to get a gdb backtrace from the PHP crash,
but I suspect it might be more fruitful to browse PHP bug discussions.
Chances are it's not a new bug, as I'm using CentOS and its relatively
conservative package choices.

        BTW, I fed you a snippet from the wrong freetds.conf - I had
omitted the tds version =  line in a different one. After making that
correction, the query runs fine in tsql without explicitly setting the
TDS version.  (Sadly, adding the correct tds version instruction to the
conf file that actually matters didn't clear up my PHP crashing
trouble.)
