Actually, this is a difference between InterBase and Firebird (all
versions). There was a bug in handling blobs in procedures that
occasionally cause a double reference to a blob - two records pointing
at the same blob. When one was deleted or modified the blob, the
other was left with a bad pointer. Claudio found and fixed that
problem, so Firebird does allow blobs as parameters and for internal
reference within procedures.
