Hi all

IMHO there are fatal error with threading in IB Linux
client (libgds.so), which makes using IB impossible in
serious application on Linux.

If application communicates with IB in more than one 
thread, SIGSEGV errors randomly occurred, always 
in IBX units during calls to IB client (functions
with prefix "isc_").

Threading in Windows client (gds32.dll) seems to be ok.

Tested on Kylix1, Kylix2, IB 6.01 and FB 1.00 RC2
both superservers. Maybe IB 6.5 have workaround,
but I can't test it...?

If somebody can help me, thank a lot

Best regards
