I have create 25 folders (C:\dbt\db1 .. c:\dbt\db25) containing 25
small databases (20MB).

Then I created a batfile containing 25 isql connections:

start isql -user sysdba -password testpass localhost:c:\dbt\db1
\dsbase01.fdb
pause
....
....
....
start isql -user sysdba -password testpass localhost:c:\dbt\db25
\dsbase01.fdb
pause

The test is run on XP-SP2 with 512MB Ram. On the Win2003 server I do
not get "Allocated x page bufferes of x requested". It could be
something related to memory!? I still get "internal gds software
consistency check (cannot start thread)"


Here is what I get from firebird.log:
