I did... the only thing ever mentioned about HT in firebird newsgroup
is that it doesn't uses the second thread. Not fatal crashes.

On a client's machine, you can never be sure HT is always disabled --
unless we perform a check to make sure it's disabled before starting,
and for that matter, every few seconds' interval (in case user chose
to hibernate and and re-enable HT)...

BTW, Firebird server DID NOT crash when HT was enabled -- the only
thing that crashed was IBO and its dll (gds32.dll / fbclient.dll).

Firebird Newsgroup never mentioned about HT crashing fbclient.dll /
gds32.dll. But if you know which thread specifically to look at for
this report, I'll be more than happy to take a look.

Thanks Alan.
