Running FB 2.5, but I thought it was a know issue. At least the guy at
IBSurgeon gave me that impression, although he didn't state it
explicitly. That's how it was repaired, by the way. The affected table
was not necessary for me, so he "simply" used their tools to create
empty metadat for it, losing all old/existing data content. After that I
did a gbak backup/restore to make sure everything was nice and clean.
