The log seems to indicate that something or someone is sending malformed
packets to the Firebird server, but given the time between its occurrence
and the actual crash, I am not sure if that is the reason. Similar problems
were the reason for releasing 2.5.3 Security Update. As far as I know this
fix ended up in Firebird 2.1.7 as well, but I am not sure if this is
actually the same problem.

since 2.1.4. However I have seen a similar problem with 2.1.7 as well. You
might have no choice but to upgrade to 2.5.4 (or 2.5.5 that will be
released in the near future).
