No, because these aren't Firebird errors. The first one says the server
couldn't send a packet across the network and the network says (error
10054) "Connection reset by peer". That's a TCP/IP error - like what
happens when your ISP cuts you off in the middle of a download (like mine
does: if the statutory 4 hours are up - vaboom!) The second one just says
the packet it sent to the client didn't return a response - which kinda
follows on from the first one.
