We have had similar problems with other jdbc drivers after much shorter
periods of time. We have been using a connection pool which
automatically retires connections after a period of time and replaces
them with fresh ones.

So whilst it would be good if this were not a problem with
Interbase/Firebird it is definately a problem common to a number of drivers.
