I agree with the priorities.

However, I suspect if Nickolay is interested then he's likely to do
something anyway. Hopefully he finds some other bug in firebird in the
short term to occupy his interest, :-).

Although, I know Im letting the linux side down currently (but since
nonone is paying, and Im busy - so thats how it unfortunately goes).

BTW: I am also interested in checking out 64bit linux with fb2 (in
theory is should be working - thanks in large part to Erik).


[ Now I've cc'ed this to firebird-devel, at some stage we will need to
resolve this two newsgroups thing, which has it's up sides, you can ask
jim something, and it's downsides, it's not as visible from firebird,
info is split and firebird doesn't archive it - but a solution can wait]
