Subject Classic server and never ending connections
Author Marek Konitz
Hi all,

I'm using Classic server (2xP4 Xeon proccessor HT, win2k server),
Firebird version 1.5.2 RC4, though problem occurs in any 1.5 version.
Usually there are about 30 concurrent connections in this installation.
In some cases after closing application the connection isn't released -
fb_inet proccess is still running. Stopping the service kills only
default proccess. Task manager is useless, shows only 'access denied to
proccess'. It complicates backup/restore procedure, since reboot is
required (database file is locked until every connection ends).

Does IBX have something to do with that? Most of our applications use
IBX. Not sure, but sometimes IBExpert also causes such situation.

Best Regards,

Marek Konitz
