I have not worked with the ODBC API, but my experience from working
with a module that uses both the OLE DB API and the Perl API (it's
to be called from Perl) is that when my module crashes, it's usually
my fault. One bug was really tricky was some piece of code where I
allocated one byte too few. Most of the time the code worked fine, but
occasionally I would overwrite something when I wrote to that byte.
But of course nothing crashed at that point, but that happened much
later.
