Thank you for the response.

As for the "fix metadata character set" - this database has never had
any operation performed with a specific character set, so that thought
has never occurred to me. Even then, how is it that the procedure
worked for a week after the 1.5 -> 2.1 conversion without issue?

I did run the rdb$fix_metadata procedure but with updates commented
out. There were quite a number of returned rows from this procedure.
Does that mean that each of these represents a ticking time bomb?

I did not try the 2.1.3 snapshot for two reasons - I cannot find it,
and this is a production database of 50GB so it is not a simple matter
of moving it for testing.
