Yep, I can reproduce this under XP Pro SP1. The behaviour is definitely 
different compared to NT 4.0 workstation and Win2K workstation. There is a 
siginficantly long pause while the server service stops. During that time the 
display indicates that Firebird is running as an application.

The problem only seems to affect WinXP and it only appears if the Guardian is 
not being used to stop the server service. So, there is a workaround until a 
fix can be found. 

I guess this is an item to add to the Readme section entitled 'Known bugs and 
anomalies'.
