I've located and fixed the problem.

I will patch both 3.x and 4.x.

(Since it appears you are still on 3.x)

Here is the code change in IB_Parse.pas:

function GetRelOps( var AText: string ): string;
var
ii: integer;
tmpPos1: integer;
tmpPos2: integer;
tmpPos3: integer;
begin
Result := '';
if contains_relational_ops( Copy( Trim( AText ), 1, 3 )) then
begin
ii := rel_op_pos( AText );
if Trim( Copy( AText, 1, ii - 1 )) <> '' then
Exit;
repeat
ii := rel_op_pos( AText );
if (ii > 0) and ( Length( Result ) < 2 ) then
begin
if Result <> AText[ii] then
Result := Result + AText[ii];
Delete( AText, ii, 1 );
if ii <> rel_op_pos( AText ) then
Break;
end;
until ( ii = 0 ) or ( Length( Result ) = 2 );
end
else
begin
tmpPos1 := getLitSafeStrPos( 'IS ', UpperCase( AText ), 1 );
if tmpPos1 > 0 then
begin
tmpPos2 := getLitSafeStrPos( ' NULL', UpperCase( AText ), 1 );
if tmpPos2 > tmpPos1 then
begin
tmpPos3 := getLitSafeStrPos( ' NOT ', UpperCase( AText ), 1 );
if ( tmpPos3 > tmpPos1 ) and ( tmpPos2 > tmpPos3 ) then
Result := 'IS NOT NULL'
else
Result := 'IS NULL';
if Trim( Copy( AText, 1, tmpPos1 - 1 )) = '' then
Delete( AText, tmpPos1, tmpPos2 - tmpPos1 + 5 )
else
Result := '';
end;
end;
end;
end;

Just replace the existing implementation of this routine with this one.
