IMPORTANT: Note affecting all Linux Classic/Superсlassic builds
It has been found that V.2.5 Classic for Linux has problems with AST delivery if used with glibc 2.5. With glibc 2.7 it works properly. The situation with glibc 2.6 is unknown for now.
If your glibc version is lower than v.2.7, it must be upgraded before using Firebird 2.5 Classic/Superсlassic.

NOTE: To make the new engine work properly under multi-threaded conditions we had to use Grand Central Dispatch, which was first released in MacOSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
