I see issue 2422 noted here:
http://www.firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/release_notes/html/rlsnotes210.html#rnfb210-v213-issues

as present in 2.1.3 and haven't found that in the list of fixes for
2.1.4 in the bugfix document (or it slipped through), so perhaps this
issue is still present in 2.1.4.

It's explicitely marked as fixed in the 2.5 release notes though.
