Hi Milan

The versions here are FB 2.1.1 and FR 0.90. I use both on different
Windows versions with no problems. In this installation they are
running under Citrix and database connections are remote. It all
worked fine for 2 years but then something changed. The only obvious
difference is they are on a virtual server but I have other
installations on virtual servers which are running fine.

I did report it on the flamerobin_devel but with little information
other than mentioned here we did not make any progress. I did hope
that an upgrade of the Firebird server would resolve the issue, but it
did not. Maybe I should have uninstalled Firebird before installing
the new version.

I would be interested if IB Expert does use gsec. It would at least
narrow down the problem because there does seem to be an issue with
the services API.
