Hi,

we have frequently a curious problem in a productive system running
Firebird SS version 1.0 (build 796) under Linux: The CPU usage of one
of the ibserver processes rises for a _long_ time (up to more than 20
hours) to about 95%. The machine has really long response times in
this phase. But there are no visible errors, neither in the client app
nor in the ibserver.log.

SWEEP is set to 0
DIALECT is set to 3
gfix reports no errors
The difference between the current transaction number and the OTN is
small (usually not greater than 100).

Any ideas? For example how to find the reason?

Best regards
Michael Gast
