The cause for this is the breaking of the tcp/ip connection between your
client and the server. After this occurs, interbase.log can filled up with
this error repeating millions of times. It's not that much important, all
you need to do is to restart the application, or connect again.
They say it's because of bad network design, faulty hardware, etc... These
can be some reasons for this, but I also saw that error happen with systems
with only one hub, one server and 4 clients. If you don't have a network
design, crashing clients, faulty hardware, there's nothing that can be done
than just to ignore this.
I think it will be good to check firebird's tcp/ip communication design or
sources because it's so sensitive with the communication.

You may see this error lots many times on slow networks..
