What version of Firebird are you running? What you're seeing is
a case where a page was incorrectly referenced in two contexts -
one as a data page (which it is) and one as an index page. The
repair is to drop and recreate the index in question - gfix should
tell you which it is. That bug is fixed in 2.0.l - the release
notes are a better place to find descriptions of bugs than the
reference manual.

Once you get that problem in a database, it will be reported
whenever you try to reference that page of that index, so fixing
it is important.
