Subject Re: Random Lockup

We have had a couple of lockups also in recent weeks. This is again a stable application with 10 users of less that has been running for years. A couple of times it has cleared on its own, and other we needed to do a stop and start of the Interbase 2009 server. This is all Windows XP, Server 2003 and Citrix. I have no further insight to share.
