Bingo!

Freddy has hit the nail on the head.  It turns out that the library
used to access ODBC had an issue with the access pattern used. 
Somehow, the actual queries were sent out of sequence either to the
ODBC layer or were mis-sequenced by the ODBC layer to FreeTDS.

For the time being I found a workaround in my app that makes it work
properly. Next week I will dig into the flow of the calls to figure out
exactly why things happened the way they do.  Maybe (with any luck) I
will figure out how to make the intermediate layers to "play nice" with
the driver.

Thanks to all here for the assistance!
