I have been using FB 2.5.1 x64 since beginning on this server. UDFs
are working fine and I didn't have any problem with UDFs for years.
UDFs are written Pascan and compiled in FreePascal 2.6.

OK, I will do this, but I cannot, because the database is in use 5/8. I will try it in the evening.

I have also tried to update to FB 2.5.2 x64, but the issue remained
the same.

Yes, I have full protocol, would you like to see it? Maybe I sent it to you directly?
BTW: I was using the free version of FBFirstAID only.

Thanks.
