Is this the actual logic of your handler? If so, then you seem to be
calling execproc in both success and fail conditions.

What version of client and server are you using? If it isn't Firebird 1,
then you might be encountering some manifestation of the famous XSQLDA
bug. For more info, see the article on the IBO news page - it applies to
all versions of InterBase and some of the Firebird
betas. http://www.ibobjects.com/iboNews.html

But I'd take a close look at the logic of your handler procedure before
jumping to conclusions...
