Thanks Dany

I will look those emails up. My further testing here seems to show that
the problem only appears when running from the Delphi IDE! So long as
my application isn't leaking memory I am kind of OK with that, on the
assumption that moving to FB 2 (when final) and later IBObjects
components might do the trick.
