Hi
I was seek last week so that why I'm answering so late.

It seems that closing all connections does not resolve the database state.
Here is the output after I've performed
pkill -9 fb_inet_server
(to close all connections)

gstat -h:

Database header page information:

*END*

Thanks

The culprit is the guilty person. IBConsole starts a snapshot
transaction when you use it to query the database. That transaction
stays open until explicitly closed.

Try closing all connections to the database, then run gstat -h and send
us the results.
