On the matter of shared access:
Which memory is shared? Is the NT service making a local connection to
Firebird for its writes? Is the user connecting locally?

A couple of other considerations:

Could the database be running out of temp sort space?

If it's a single database file, could the file size be hitting the
limit? Firebird fixed the filesize overrun problem by forcing a
disconnection when the file gets full...
