Maybe related to your troubles, maybe not - but you can't perform inserts
into FB 1.0.0.796 database tables using IBO 3.6 Dg. You will need to get
build 821 of Firebird; or upgrade your IB Objects to a patch version 4.2Gc
or higher.

I don't think it is fixed in FB - the problem of the API call to query the
number of users causing a server crash if it is made during an automatic
sweep. Do you know whether your databases are set up to do auto sweeps?
