That message indicates an error in one of three places: data movement from
the DSQL processor to the engine, data movement from the engine to the DSQL
processor, or engine side of the execution of a stored procedure. In all of
those cases, the call parameters have been set up by the DSQL module so they
should be correct and there should be no way that your code, or IBO could
pass bad values.

My questions, both to Colin and to Jason are these: are you saving more than
one type of object? Does IBO save and reuse the prepared statement? If so,
I think I know what the bug is and the work around is to reprepare the
statement.
