We are using Firebird 1.5x on a Win2003 server with a Delphi 5 based
application. We are experiencing hangs in the application (no doubt
due to bad code), the user then ends the process/application with task
manager, and restarts the application. However Firebird will not allow
the user to re-connect for about 20 minutes. The program uses IBX
components to test whether the user is connected to FB, and FB reports
the user is still connected even after disconnecting and re-starting,
thus the 20 minute wait.

Any suggestions on the cause of the problem and what we can do to fix ?

Many thanks
