Uhm, I would like to update this bug a little bit
It only appears when I have a running instance of thunderbird. Only than I get
the error message as described and cannot start firebird anymore. But once I
close thunerbird, all runs fine.
The other way round is no problem, so when I have a running instance of firebird
I can start thunderbird with no problem. ( ie. a workaround for this bug )

sorry to have posted a little bit too fast...
and many thanks for what I think are 2 great programs!
