Hi,

[Firebird 1.5 CS/linux build 4290]

We are working on an multi-threaded application under linux (embedded).
Different threads do open a connection to the database (one connection
per thread).
The database is on the same linux computer (localhost:db_alias).

The application allways crashes after some hours. The stack trace
indicates that the
crash occurs in libgds.so (that is, libfbembed.so).

I read in the release notes that libfbembed.so is not thread-safe.

1. Do you confirm that libfbembed.so cannot be safely used by a
multi-threaded application?

2. Does a thread-safe version of libfbembed.so exist?

3. Is it possible and enough to replace libfbembed.so with
libfbclient.so to connect to the Classic Server?

4. Is it mandatory to replace the CS with SS, in order to be able to
use a thread-safe client library?

5. CS under linux is known to be very stable. What about SS?

Best regards,
