Here's a short hexdump of both:

built on sparc:
  01 00 04 00 00 02 06 ac  00 00 00 00 00 03 13 6c  |...............l|
  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  00 00 00 01 00 3c 00 00  |.............<..|
  61 72 69 74 68 6d 65 74  69 63 20 65 78 63 65 70  |arithmetic excep|

built on i386:
  01 00 00 04 ac 06 02 00  44 00 00 00 03 00 00 00  |........D.......|
  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  01 00 00 00 3c 00 00 00  |............<...|
  61 72 69 74 68 6d 65 74  69 63 20 65 78 63 65 70  |arithmetic excep|

Looking at first bytes, this clearly looks like an endianness issue to me.

I'll see if I can make the same firebird.msg work on both little- and
big-endian machines. If not, I'll move it in an arch-dependent package
(but this will suck).


Thanks,
	dam
