Oh, it happens ;-)

Seriously, one of my apps uses Firebird embedded and can connect
to InterBase via IBO.

Of course, as IBO does not yet support binding to a client library
on a per TIB_Connection basis, this resulted into problems. Luckily,
I could work around the problem ...

And, Database Workbench does this as well ;-)
