Thanks Anderson and Gabor for your tips!

I copy some portions of firebird.log. They are of three times when the
problem occured yesterday. I don´t understand exactly the meaning of the
log, but in each portion I see that first there is a "select failed", then
the next (inmediatly) says "error on main_port, shutting down" and then, a
few minutes later, when it says "Shutting down the Firebird service" I guess
that is the moment when I shut down the service to restart it.

Perhaps with this information any of you can tell me what may be causing the
"shutting down".
