ctypes should be able to convert these types automatically, and like PYFB26 the bug only occurs occasionally, and I only saw it when running under apache2 / mod_wsgi.

I "hacked around" this problem with the following changes, and have not seen the bug recur with the hacks. But this is not a good solution.

./fdb/fbcore.py:
145c145
< XSQLVAR, ISC_TEB, RESULT_VECTOR, ISC_STATUS, ISC_STATUS_ARRAY,
ISC_STATUS_PTR,
---
> XSQLVAR, ISC_TEB, RESULT_VECTOR, ISC_STATUS, ISC_STATUS_ARRAY,
ISC_STATUS_PTR, ISC_STATUS_PTR_PTR,
539a540,541
> #⁠ pvector_ptr = ctypes.byref(pvector)
> pvector_ptr = ctypes.cast(ctypes.addressof(pvector), ISC_STATUS_PTR_PTR)
542c544,548
< result = api.fb_interpret(msg, 512, pvector)
---
> #⁠ SOMETIMES this was causing an error is using pvector rather than a pointer
to it
> #⁠ ctypes is supposed to do auto-byref, but sometimes gave
> #⁠ <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: expected LP_LP_c_long instance instead of
LP_c_long>
> #⁠ result = api.fb_interpret(msg, 512, pvector)
> result = api.fb_interpret(msg, 512, pvector_ptr)
