i would guess IBConsole is the problem. you could try IBOConsole by Lorenzo
Mengoni from http://www.mengoni.it/downloads.html, a fixed and enhanced version
of IBConsole.

or look on http://www.fingerbird.de under "admin tools" for some more options.

you may also try a newer release of Firebird if that doesn't solve your problem
(build .796 is the "official" 1.0 release), though it's unlikely that FB is the
source of the problem.
