Interesting, this is a prime number.  It's not a Firebird error code, 
though it might be some internal marker I suppose.

It's somewhat hard to find a solution when the problem isn't known.

Yes.

Version numbers (from the Property sheets of the binaries) of the server 
and all of the clients.

Anything useful in firebird.log?

Some idea of what the system is doing when it crashes.

Whether you are running the server as an application or a service.

Whether you are using External Functions and, if so, whether you are using 
the InterBase versions of those by mistake (that *will* crash the server).

What network protocol the clients are using to connect.

Whether you are using the BDE.

Why you are still using IB6 databases without backing up and restoring them.

That should be a start.  :-)
