Re: problems installing java
Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately that didn't help.
Firebird still crashed. I hope that it was just me being stupid, after I
read your mail, but it still seems to be the case that it's a bug at
work. They *have* identified some kind of bug that could have something
to do with this, and fixed it, as far as I understood. But I don't know
if the fix has been in a build already --- at least it's certain that
Debian, in its present condition, doesn't have it.
Still, if you have got any more ideas -- bring 'em on! ;)

Firebird needs jre1.4.2 or later.
Create a folder in /usr/local then download into it the latest self
extracting jre form Sun.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html
Run the self extracting archive you just downloaded. (root required)
Create a sym link for the plugin;
ln -s
/usr/local/yourfolder/j2re1.4.2_xx/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji
.so /path to firebird plugin folder/libjavaplugin_oji.so
(Note: Its the ns610-gcc32 plugin)
If you leave it like this firebird will crash. You need to run the
following;
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java Java
/usr/local/yourfolder/jdk1.X/bin/java 120
Firebird should now play ball with Java
