Fixed my problem - finally.
Initially the FIB components operated on the main loop, dynamicly created at
runtime etc... They were then moved to being threaded. I just copied the
orginal code over to the threaded class. The problem was that I was still
passing our main form as the owner to the fib classes when I was creating
them!!! (Hits himself in the head) On the odd occasion an unhandled
exception was occuring in the threads constructor that was causing the
destructor to be called. So I am now passing 'nil' as their owner when they
are created to solve the problem.
So basicly it was a cut and paste error.
Sigh.
Thanks for your help Myles, it was helpful as I did learn that there should
be a seperate instance of the TFibDatabase for each thread. I wasn't doing
this when I should have been. :)
Threads are fun!

Nahum, here is another response I got ..
The Interbase client is thread safe, but you need separate database handles
for
each thread. You cannot share a connection across threads. Each connection
can
be multi-transaction, of course.
