Subject Internal gds software consistency check (cannot find tip page (165))
Author Niben M Singh
I stress tested my firebird database by running a query that
returns about fair amount of data (like 200 rows) 20000 times in a loop. I
found that after running the query about half an hour the database hung
and became inaccessible. The database would not accept any connections. I had to restart the server in order to re-run
my queries. I looked into the firebird.log file and saw error message "Internal gds software consistency check (cannot find tip page (165))".

Upon googling the error message I came across this page
          http://dn.codegear.com/article/30208

Just as stated in the page the user I was using had read-only access to the database. After modifying the user to have write permission the error seem to go away. I did not see the problem happening. Is this something we should be aware of before deploying database with read-only user? Or, is there something I have missed??
