Is your db_connect() function called more than once per run?

dbinit() must be called exactly once per application, and must be called 
before any other DB-Lib function.

Move it to the beginning of main() or some other suitable initialization 
point for your application, and move the dberrhandle() and dbmsghandle() 
calls after it (if you plan to uncomment them at some point).

If you must call it from this function, then use a static variable to 
ensure it is done only once, and make sure no other DB-Lib calls can 
happen beforehand elsewhere in the app.
