[server-admins] Firebird Server pegging

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Dear Server Admins :)

There is something happening on the server which pegs fbserver and 
freezes our main website (and other sites oddly).

I see this when our system on the NTVMR here in Münster stops pulling a 
gadget from the swordweb web application which is on a totally unrelated 
tomcat instance from anything to do with firebird.

When this happens, I can't even hit http://crosswire.org.  As soon as I 
/etc/rc.d/init.d/firebird-superserver stop then everything comes back.

I have no idea how this can happen.  I guess I've copied the webapp 
information between all the instances and so they may each have a 
firebird jdbc driver setup, but the swordweb server certainly isn't 
using it for anything.  Nor is the main site, to my knowledge-- Well, 
unless we are displaying news on the main site now.

Anyway, if you have any ideas, I'm open.  I'm also open to switching 
database servers to mysql if anyone wants to do the work.
