This seems to be either a 'feature' of Linux or something inside the Linux version of Firebird. I see this on my Linux Server as well (Fedora Core 2). I have never seen it happen with Firebird running under Windows. It is simple to duplicate: on a client machine, run isql, connect to a database, play with it (show tables, whatever), then leave isql alone for a while. Next time you try to issue a command via that isql session, it will freeze for a while and then finally report that the server connection was terminated. I have no explanation for it at this time, but find it very highly annoying.... In one's own code, one could certainly set up a periodic 'keepalive' request, but of course that won't work in isql.
