With my old server (also FB 2.0.3, but Gentoo kernel 2.6.38 instead of
3.0.6), it works.
Both Gentoo systems have exactly the same package (2.0.3.12981.0-r6)
installed. Strange.

PHP scripts with "ibase_" in Apache...). How big is the chance that
all those clients can remain unchanged?
Ok, I could use 2.0.6 (then there's surely no client problem). But I'd
have to install that manually, too, and while I'm at it, I'd prefer the
latest version (2.5.x), of course.
