The problem appears to be a protection violation on delivering
a signal. That often means that two classic processes are in
different groups and there is no lock relay running as root.

What do you mean "transitioning to v2 objects?" - One of the
changes in Firebird 2 is that all processes running in classic
must be members of the firebird group. (At least that's my
recollection) With V2, you no longer need a lock relay and
beyond that, it won't work because the files are protected
so that only members of the Firebird group can access them.
