Hi, I did an ssh tunnel to a remote server that has a Firebird 2.5 database, this way, my computer can connect to that database by simply pointing to 'localhost', this works when I connect through FlameRobin, but I can't make it work using this simple program:

program dbtest;
{$mode objfpc}
uses
  Classes, SysUtils, IBConnection, sqldb;

var
  IBConnection1: TIBConnection;
  SQLTransaction1: TSQLTransaction;
  lSql: TSQLQuery;

begin
  IBConnection1 := TIBConnection.Create(nil);
  IBConnection1.DatabaseName := 'test';
  IBConnection1.UserName := 'SYSDBA';
  IBConnection1.Password := 'masterkey';
  IBConnection1.HostName := 'localhost';
  IBConnection1.CharSet := 'UTF8';
  IBConnection1.LoginPrompt := False;
  IBConnection1.Connected := True;
  IBConnection1.Free;
end.

When I run it, I get this exception:

An unhandled exception occurred at $0000000000488EFB :
EIBDatabaseError :  : DoInternalConnect : 
 -database /usr/path_to_database/TEST.IB shutdown
  $0000000000488EFB
  $000000000048A1E1
  $0000000000489C98

What can be causing this error?

P.S.: I'm connecting from an Ubuntu 10.10 64bits box with libfbclient2 ver 2.5.0.26074-0.ds4-4, and the server is a FreeBSD 8.2 64bits with Firebird 2.5. 

Thanks in advance,
