No, the "H" host was something gfix did - not gstat. And gfix does
function across a network.

I don't know if the "H" comes from the drive. Just now I copied the
limboed db to D:\ and I still got the "H". But maybe that's because of
the fact that the original path as stored in the db starts with "H":

  >gfix -user sysdba -pass masterke -list D:\limbobron_r.fdb
  Transaction 67 is in limbo.
  Could not reattach to database for transaction 67.
  Original path: H:\FIREBIRD\LIMBO\LIMBOBRON.FDB
  Enter a valid path:
  d:\limbobron_r.fdb
    Multidatabase transaction:
      Host Site: SOFA
      Transaction 67
  has been prepared.
          Remote Site: H
          Database Path: d:\limbobron_r.fdb

To find out if it also mentions H if the original limbo is on another
drive, I would have to re-run everything, but I don't have time for
that now, sorry! Maybe later.

BTW, it suddenly strikes me that on the line below "Remote Site" the
"Database Path" once again mentions the local path, not the remote
path. One would expect the remote path there, wouldn't one?
