Sorry, but I'm not able to find tracks of those bugs.
A search in http://bugs.php.net reported nothing; apart BLOB on 64 bit
systems and events management, there's nothing new.
Last bug about a (p)connect problem was suspended in 2007:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=39523
Before these problems, in this tracker last pconnect bug was reported in
2003, six years ago: ok, maybe this is "few" ;-) .

Firebird tracker has nothing about PHP (obviously).

Ciao.
Mimmo.
