I put some printfs in around the free and it appears to be pointing to a valid date format.
If I just comment out the free it then seems to fail on the next free the code hits (and of course leaks;)
It is almost as if the heap is getting corrupted somehow it freeing up allocated memory is crapping out.
What I might try doing is something like the following
free(malloc(100));
and see what happens

Bug. Eh. The pointer being freed might not have been allocated, and
isn't zeroed when initialized.
free(ctx->locale->date_fmt);
Locale is allocated by tds_alloc_locale() and initialized by
tds_parse_locale(). Something's a little wrong, because
tds_parse_locale() should find a proper date format string in
locales.conf. In case it doesn't, though, *nothing* initializes the
memory; it's just pointing to random space. A little while later, the
ODBC driver fastidiously frees the tiny string it thinks was allocated,
and you send a message to the list.
I would double-check what's going on with TDSDUMPCONFIG, which should show
a locales.conf being read and the date_fmt being initialized. But this
patch wouldn't do any harm:
