It's a known problem. By default unixODBC apply a threading model 3
that serialize every calls of a driver. It's safe to use a threading
of 1. To specify this however you have to use odbcinst.ini like

/etc/odbcinst.ini

[FreeTDS]
Driver = /path/to/our/libtdsodbc.so
Threading = 1

and in odbc specify the driver using odbcinst.ini, like

/etc/odbc.ini (or ~/.odbc.ini or another file with overriding)

[dsnname]
Driver = FreeTDS
Server = dns_server_name
Port = your_port
TDS_Version = 8.0

or use a connect string with driver parameter like

"DRIVER=FreeTDS;SERVER=dns_server_name;PORT=your_port;TDS_Version=8.0"
