FB4.4 was deprecated over a year ago ( approximately:  last change  
date on the compressed FB4.4.3 package is May 2008 and FB5 came to  
life near this time ), so it hasn't changed since that time. Maybe  
clarify when this last worked. Please understand: FB4 is not supported  
with bug fixes, enhancements etc. Even after adding some stubs( and  
removing the artifacts due to email ) to your code it wouldn't compile  
here in FB 4.4.3. If possible, post code that compiles clean in FB  
4.4.3.

Also, please submit some basic information to help the list understand  
the circumstances:

(1) What release of OS X ?
(2) What type of Mac ( Intel or PowerPC )
(3) Please clarify what you are doing when the error occurs. ( i.e.  
RUN or BUILD or something else ? )
(4) If there is a crashreporter log, please post. If this is Rosetta  
it won't be helpful but the environment isn't clear from the post.
(5) Please note which specific release of FB4 ( i.e. 4.4.3 , 4.4.2 or  
some other ).


FYI:  PG is not supported in FB5, so moving away from it should be  
considered. There are a few methods used in the posted code that won't  
work in FB5 but could be changed easily enough. Moving away from the  
PG runtime is typically a bigger project but doable ( several of my  
own projects - and at least two were large --were PG )
