Project Project12.exe raised exception class EAccessViolation with

Read of address 00000004'.

and one of them was about some crashes in fbclient.dll.

> The bug was not related to HT but it might be something that HT

makes more visible.

> I would advise you to post this on fb development list and maybe

ask for details about the bugfix.
