Hello, Robert,

Those SIGBUS errors on Sparc and PPC architectures were 64-bit
alignment problems. Original codebase was 64-bit safe but some
problems were introduced during Borland days. I think I solved all
problems that affected LP32 64-bit alignment builds. Report please if
you find some more ;)

I haven't been using Firebird 1.0.X for more than a year in
development works (my FB 1.5-based systems are used in production
since autumn last year). So I cannot help you much with FB1 problems.

Yes.

I have no idea, but I'd try to use another Firebird version on
Solaris to make sure this problem is already solved. :)
