"A system error" generally means something gone wrong at the
operating system level, e.g. an I/O error, a call to a system-level
function that isn't supported on the operating system, an
out-of-memory error, etc. It means the OS has sent a message to the
DB engine saying "No can do" and the engine can't proceed with
whatever task it needed that call for.

It's not so odd. The engine won't go on blindly if it knows there is
something wrong with the resources it depends on. Take it as a
warning of something bad that you need to investigate to save your
database from corruption. You're using IB 5.6, as I recall, so let's
hope you are not encountering one of the two best-known corruption
conditions in IB 5.6 - overflowing the 2 Gb file size limit on a
FAT32 partition or else the dreaded "Windows Path Bug". See the
notes in the Firebird Quick Start Guide on "How to corrupt a database".

Would you please do something about the automatic footers in your
emails. It's totally pointless putting your company's security
message in an email that you are posting to a public forum.
