Stack trace tells that either server or network crashed. Since he uses
localhost, I assume that server crashed. Connection was established
(otherwise you would get exception in isc_attach_database), but
crashed before the new update was executed (and that was either right
after commit/rollback or that was the first transaction in the
system). Server crash is not really JayBird issue, and I would like to
have a test case to send it to fb-devel list to check why it happens.
