No, FB is not crashing. It shuts itself down in an orderly manner because the network operating system has closed the port.

fbserver.exe is Superserver. Classic's name on Windows is fb_inet_server.exe.

Check your TCP/IP configuration. It appears to be restricted to 63 connections. (Firebird doesn't restrict the number of connections). This might be related to your Server2003 licence or it might be merely a matter of altering some default setting. Unless you are the resident network expert, I strongly recommend talking to the person who is that expert...

You can inspect the server's TCP/IP parameters via a Registry editor at the key HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters. The key TcpNumConnections limits the number of concurrent connections. If you don't see the key, it means it is set to some default. You can add the key to override the default - instructions are here (but heed the warnings about editing the Registry!)

That may or may not be the whole answer. Your server licence might be limiting the number of connections on purpose because you have the wrong level of licence to permit more than 63 connections. Or you might have some firewall rule that shuts down port 3050 when the number of connections exceeds 63...
