As a user of InterBase 5.6 on Windows NT we have seen the
connect or path string bug cause database corruption. So
I was happy to see it addressed in FB 1 RC2 and decided
to test it. As I understand it if I make a remote connection
to the database using the proper string and then connect
using the bad string the second connection will be rejected.

I loaded a Windows NT4 SP6a PC with the Firebird-1.0.0.338-Beta-2-
Win32-Setup[1].zip file and then overlaid it with the Firebird-1.0.0-
RC2-Win32[1].zip files, started up and checked the employee.gdb
example database using IBConsole on the local PC. The database server
is RC2 and the database has forced writes enabled.

Then I went to another PC and set up two INTRBASE type database
connections using the BDE admin (BDE is 5.1.1). The first string is
\\Iuw-morrisond\d:\Program Files\InterBase
Corp\InterBase\Examples\Employee.gdb
the second is
\\Iuw-morrisond\d:Program Files\InterBase
Corp\InterBase\Examples\Employee.gdb
Using Database Explorer I opened both databases and modified some
data without any trouble.

Am I mistaken in thinking the second connection would be rejected ??
