How to be sure 100% about that? No crash is like the last.
My application is never really killed (Staff would be killing ME if
this would happen more than twice a year...)
Well... once in 6 months or so it suffers from a
memory-access-violation, and that can as well be caused by 14
simultaneously opened MSWord-docs.
I already forced the application to a crash by doing what I usually
avoid. But the database-connections are getting detached correctly and
the processes on the classic-server are terminated.

I am connecting via BDE/ODBC and ADO/ODBC and with IBExpert if this is
any hint.

On the server it says:
S05-01 Tue Jun 14 18:22:30 2005
INET/inet_error: read errno = 10054
in regular intervals 1 - 5 times a day
is this something bad?

On _my_ machine it says:
P04-04 (Client) Thu Mar 17 14:04:55 2005
INET/inet_error: receive in try_connect errno = 203

P04-04 (Client) Thu Mar 17 14:04:58 2005
INET/inet_error: connect errno = 10061
but this is only 1 entry and it was way before I restarted the server
several times.

I did.

Thanks for your time, now everything is working as it should, and
whatever I am trying I cannot produce a zombi-process.

I will try to monitor this and write again when I see the first zombie :)
