Hi Stefan,

Erm ... well ....

Interbase works well for us. We don't so anything sophisticated. And
this error seems to be quite rare. (googeling produced very few
results) I am not so sure it is an IB error.

And the problem does not occur at all sites.

Nevertheless - I have already been nagging for two years for us to
move to Firebird. :D

all the development work is done on Firebird. I like Firebird. Like
Interbase, it just ...... works. :D

Thanks

Tim
