More questions:

1. Have you downloaded the v.1.5.4 release notes? The Bug Fixes
chapter has a long list of fixes done since the v.1.5 and 1.5.1 releases.

2. If three-year-old Firebird 1.5.1 is causing problems, why would
you keep using it, when there are three later sub-releases?

3. What is the firebird.conf setting for RemoteFileOpenAbility?

4. What is the application interface, and how do clients access the
host device?

5. Are you using any third-party UDFs? If yes, are you running any
UDFs that make connections to the database?
