And now the firebird server stopped again.

At around 20.15 the server stopped responding.
When we got a notice, there where still 6 connections active. They could do nothing. And noone could connect to the DB.
Firebird did not respond on port 3050.
At the time, when the server died, the CPU utilisation dropped to almost 0%.

We stopped the firebird process, which gave this in the log.

I know that I am in for a hard talk tomorrow. Our customer have already send a lot of mails and SMS.

I really would appreciate any input here.
