Hi All,

Firebird 2.0.1 SS (debug binary from firebirdsql.org)

These errors are reproducible. I create a new database,
and leave my test overnight and every time I will get the same
errors in the log. This is reproducible on 2 different machines,
the other running Fedora Core 7.

My "test" is an application the uses the C API (ibase.h). My
connections get closed, and I have 0 - 5 connections at one time.

I am using 'cooperative' garbage collection, but I tried 'combined' as
well, results are the same. Default sweep interval (20000).

I am using a matching fbclient.so.

I need to know what causes the socket errors and what causes
the gds checks and the crashes.

This is not a "random" physical database corruption since I can
reproduce it and it happens on multiple machines.

thanks in advance,

stan
