Firebird 2.1.2 corrects a significant number of bugs that have shown up since 2.1.1 relase. It also includes three minor improvements that have come from user requests

• Dmitry Yemanov has improved database monitoring to enable a non-SYSDBA user to monitor all of its own attachments, not just the one which is that user’s CURRENT_CONNECTION.
• Dmitry has addressed a complaint about slowness in executing cross joins across three or more tables, particularly when one or more tables are empty.
