We've only run ODBC under 5.5, so I don't know how ours would run under 
any other version of the O/S; but, we also have this problem on occasion. 

The first thing you must ensure is that the ODBC listener is running in 
a high priority queue (like CS).  Secondly, when ever we have this problem 
it's due to a stalled transaction (which is why we use the first solution).

Stopping and re-starting the ODBC listenere usually clears this up.

Just my anecdotal experience, your results may vary.
