However I have seen a similar problem with 2.1.7 as well. You might have no choice but to upgrade to 2.5.4 (or 2.5.5 that will be released in the near future). The log seems to indicate that something or someone is sending malformed packets to the Firebird server, but given the time between its occurrence and the actual crash, I am not sure if that is the reason. Similar problems were the reason for releasing 2.5.3 Security Update. As far as I know this fix ended up in Firebird 2.1.7 as well, but I am not sure if this is actually the same problem. Mark
