Yes, but I also believe the wire protocol somewhere requires four bytes
for the IP-address of either the host or the server (example:
AbstractJavaGDSImpl.iscQueueEvents(..) )

Before Java 1.4 there was no API-defined Exception-chaining in Java, so
a lot of people rolled their own, Java 1.4 introduced a standard for
chaining. JDBC specifies a specific way of chaining but that is not
followed by Jaybird as far as I can see. Starting with JDBC 4.0 a
combination of the old JDBC chaining and the new chaining should be used.

The 'old-school' style in Jaybird uses getNext() in GDSException and
getInternalException in FBSQLException. Under the 'new'
Exception-chaining, one would normally use getCause() or in case of JDBC
specific Exceptions: getNextException() in combination with getCause().
See also the explanation in
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/Throwable.html and
paragraph 8.1.2 in the JDBC 4.0 spec.
