Problem solved!

Just in case, if someone faces this issue in future, it is already
documented here :-). I could not find any useful tip on the internet,
and saw many people saying "problem solved" but not clue about what was
done, so here it is:

Updating ODBC driver from 8.04 to 9.01 solved the Access Violation
error. Be warned, latest ODBC drivers will not run on Windows 2000 (some
C header reference DLL that only exists in XP and later). They have to
be recompiled with special headers in order to work.
