Subject Firebird 1.0.2 Fails when tickcount rolls over
Author bmorrison_navco
Greetings All,

I've been using Firebird 1.0.2 on NT 4 with one local connection and
three or me tcp/ip connections (typically loopback). One of these
tcp/ip connections is typically inserting records into the database
at the rate of 6/second.

Under Windows there is an internal DWORD that contains the number of
milliseconds since the system was turned on. This value resets
(maxes out) after about 49.7 days and resets to 0.

When this this rollover occurs, the next record insert fails with
the following error :

ISC ERROR CODE:335544648

Which translates into : Connection lost to pipe server

At this point the server has become unstable and responds with that
same error to any operation including inserts, updates, creating new
databases, etc.


Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts on the subject?


Regards,


Bill Morrison
