This problem may very well be fixed in CVS. You can poke around
http://cvs.php.net/cvs.php/php4/ext/interbase/interbase.c
and see if the problem might already have been fixed. If so, try building
the latest cvs release. Or if you don't have a dev environment for
Windows, poke around the mailing list and see if someone has built the
latest one. The other option would be to email the Interbase extension
maintainer (look at the top of the interbase.c file for contact info).
