I¹ve not seen that behavior on my network, and I use several SQL oriented
tools all over the place...

One suggestion would be to attach a debugger to the process and see where it
is failing to unload.  But, even with that knowledge, you probably won¹t be
able to do anything with a custom client app w/o source.

Not much help, but that¹s all I got on it..
