It's a WebBroker application, and the session and connection are created
dynamically within each thread - session first, then connection. We are
using TCP/ip. Changing the isolation mode in IIS make no difference.

Thanks

It's not IBO that is not thread-safe, but FB's client.

What are you using to create your ISAPI? WebSnap? Intraweb? Other?

Also, make sure that each thread has it's own connection and that the
TIB_Session component is created before TIB_Connection. You can check
the creation order of the non-visual components by right-clicking on
the webmodule(or datamodule) where those components are located.

And, make sure that you are using TCP/IP as the protocol to connect
to Firebird. Using cpLocal will cause lockups.

Also, have you tried chaning the isolation mode for ISAPIs in IIS?
