I would be very grateful if anyone can point out something on the following problem I have met several times. Interbase 6.5 is spontaneously restarting itself in heavy-load conditions and the number of attachments is increasing to numbers like 200-300 having opened only 2-3 real sessions to the server. The actual message in the interbase.log file is: 'server terminated abnormally (some negative number)'. The number in the square is probably an error code. It usually appears as '-1' or some very small number like '-12343543'. As a matter of fact I don't know what it means. The problem is very difficult to spot because it doesn't occur very often but if it does our database gets damaged which is very unwelcome. I am not sure if the problem is due to inprise server bug or some other program is affecting its work. However, it's a fact that the situation occurs on two different PCs loaded with different software packages. Interbase version 5.6 does not seem to be prone to the matter discussed here. Could the problem be a result of incorrect version migration since all databases have been created under an older ibase server? Any information is warmly welcome. It is urgent. Thank you in advance.
