It's not something I have ever heard of as configurable. It's not
something I have ever encountered in 7 years with InterBase/Firebird and
three years with IBO...but it sounds like a message you would get when your
SQL plan is too large to fit in the buffer allocated for it. The cure for
that would not be to increase the size of the buffer but to improve the plan.

So, far, you haven't supplied any comprehensible information about the SQL
you are trying to perform. Once you provide that, we'll have something to
work on...

Use the IB_monitor to capture the PLAN and include that, too, please.
