Latest update: RH 9 with all the latest updates, Apache 2.0.48, PHP 4.3.4, non 
persistent connections, FirebirdSS completely recompiled under RH 9. Same 
results as before: Firebird issues the usual message and, luckily, dies a few 
minutes later:

        /opt/firebird/bin/fbguard: bin/fbserver terminated abnormally (-1)
----------------------------------------------------------------

MRTG does not report any unusual amount of TCP connections to port 3050 in any 
state, neither ESTABLISHED, nor anything else. To know what happened, please 
refer to my previous postings as recompiling FirebirdSS and updating to lastest 
Apache and PHP didn't change a thing.

Any point of view would be really appreciated.
