isql connects, tsql does not

I know the problem is usually the other way round, but -

1
mbm@devbox:~$ tsql -S tnauk-sql -U TNAUKNRC\\Bernard -D tnauk
locale is "en_GB.UTF-8"
locale charset is "UTF-8"
Password:
Default database being set to tnauk
Msg 20002, Level 9, State -1, Server OpenClient, Line -1
Adaptive Server connection failed
There was a problem connecting to the server

- so I seem to have got connection to the database, but password refusal.

mbm@devbox:~$ isql -v tnauk 'TNAUKNRC\Bernard' '<PASSWORD>'

On trying to access from application Aubit4GL I get:
4glc: login.c:856: tds7_send_login: Assertion `0' failed.
/home/aubit4gl/bin/aubit: line 5516: 19401 Aborted                 4glc discount
s.4gl -S -o discounts
WARNING: 'aubit':Command ( 4glc discounts.4gl -S -o discounts) exited with code  134
Error status: 134

I have a working setup on an elderly DEBIAN server, where also tsql will not 
work, though isql does - and where the critical Aubit4GL application also works. 
  The only differences seem to be in the output of tsql -C, where on the Debian 
box I get TDS version: 5.0.


6
Resetting 'TDS version' lines in freetds.conf appears to make no difference.
Setting TDSVER on the command line makes no difference to the output of tsql -C, 
nor does exporting TDSVER.

unixodbc and FreeTDS are from apt-get on a Ubuntu 11.10 server.



I'd be most grateful for any help!
