Hello:

I've asked this question before, but did not get any responses that
could help.

I have been seeing regularly, but still extremely intermittently,
considering the number of times my program makes calls to the database,
that in Win7/Vista, 64bit, and not in 32 bit, Firebird can hang. What's
going on here? Anything I can do about this? The example below is not
uncommon, but it can happen with any query of the DB throughout the program.

I am using IBObjects, with Delphi 2007, and the 32bit Firebird 2.5. This
is a desktop application with a single user. The database is local on
the HD.

Thank you for your help,

Chuck Belanger
