Ok, also, how are you accessing the database, that is with what tool(s)
(IBO, IBX, etc), or are you accessing the database directly through the API
??

Hi Fred:
I have a single multithread application. Each thread creates its own
connection to the database when the thread is started. These threads
then live thought the application lifecycle. When there is db work
to be done, an idle thread is woken up and it creates a new
transaction. On work completion the transaction is committed or
rolledback. Typically, I have at most 12 threads or 12 connections
to the database. But this number varies.

This issue is reproducible, but not at will. I have not been able to
create a tester that can produce this on demand. However I run into
this problem at least 1 time every two days or when the applications
load increases and all threads are running.
