Apologies for the repost, but it's been a month and nobody has
commented, and in the mean time I've found a reference in the
firebird-devel archives.

We are running a built-from-source Firebird Classic LI-V1.5.3.4870
[with Debian patches] on a Ubuntu 7.04 AMD64 server.

Instead of the "Arithmetic overflow/string truncation" error message
we get an fb_inet_server segfault.

All other errors are fine.

Daniel didn't get a solution from the thread.

Is this something best asked on Firebird-devel?

Thanks
