Yes, I know, it is OT here, I think it has nothing to do with IBO.
I'll subscribe to firebird-devel and post it there.

Sorry, my mistake. I mean IB_SQL from Jason Wharton, I named it WISQL
on my computer. I've never used the "old" WISQL. And it was an
example only, I cannot connect at all: my apps, IB_SQL, IBExpert,
ISQL, GBAK, ..., nothing works until reboot.

No, it doesn't:
tcp 0 0 *:gds_db *:* LISTEN
And I've never seen "blackjack" on my other computer, where it works
OK.

I've reinstalled linux on my notebook, but it didn't help. To clear
it, of course I don't need the notebook as server, but I'd like to
know, what to do, if it happends in production environment out there
by my clients.

Thank you very much, Helen. I'll try it on firebird-devel again.
