Ed,

I'm not really sure what I can do about this problem from within IBO since
it is obviously a problem where the server instance experiences a crash.
Whenever you end task an embedded application the whole instance of the
server is also crashed. Have you looked at only using a database with forced
writes enabled? That should make the difference you need to be sure that
when the server is crashed that the increment of the generator is written to
disk. Seems to me it would be a good idea for the firebird development team
to make it so that under all circumstances the generator is written to disk
when incremented. You might want to suggest that to them.
