Firebird 1.5 Superserver.

I have found that it happens on Window XP as soon as you install IIS (I
have no idea why!)
I think some of the XP cases may have been AV software too.
And on Vista, it does it all the time, without having installed anything
extra.

We have now changed our default connection sting from local to TCP/IP
and localhost, but I still don't know why IIS or Vista would affect the
local protocol... just interested...
