Nothing nearly that complicated. This very simple, I have done nothing
other than the code I have sent you. All I do is call the generator
one time to get the new value. Remember, this code has worked fine for
months in Interbase, so it is not something I am doing.

Again, if I run this code in IBOConsole (Firebird):

select id from newrowid( 'person', 1);

I get a return value of say, 79. When I run it again, immediately
afterward, I get 81. The same thing occurs when running it though the
Firebird JDBC Interbase driver.

If I run the exact same code in IBConsole (Interbase) and the
Interbase JDBC InterClient driver, it works correctly. The problem is
clearly in the Firebird code.
