But, as an afterthought, how are you connecting to the server? If you are
currently using local InterBase (e.g. C:\path1\path2\MyDatabase.gdb) for
the Midas layer, you might be encountering the non-thread-safe "feature" of
local interbase. Change to LOCALHOST:C:\path1\path2\MyDatabase.gdb to
connect via TCP/IP and see if that fixes the problem.
