The one that came with the FB 1.5 RC4 Linux superserver build.
Double checked and that's definately the one and only ib_udf.so on
the server box. According to webcvs, aschii_char() never changed
since the initial import. The ib_udf.sql used to build the database
in question is also current.
From looking at it, the implementation appears correct to me, but
then I never spent too much time working with UDFs that return
strings.
