The problem arises that FColumn is assigned in the CreateForColumn
constructor, not in the Create constructor. And,
TIB_BlobStream.CreateForColumn calls TIB_BlobStream.Create after
FColumn is assigned. But, TIBOBlobStream.Create calls
TIB_BlobStream.Create, instead of TIB_BlobStream.CreateForColumn.
So, I really don't think that FColumn is assigned any value when
TIB_BlobStream.Initialize is being executed, when using the IBODataset
components.

Also, TIB_BlobStream.Initialize changed between version 4.9.2 and
4.9.3. If you look at the code in 4.9.2, you will realize that FColumn
is only referenced in one specific scenario.

Try replacing FColumn.FieldNo with FFieldNo, since FFieldNo is
assigned in TIB_BlobStream.Create.

And, I'm very interested in your findings. Because I want to upgrade
to IBO 4.9.3, but the issue with the bookmarks and DevExpress turned
by away for now. And, the blob stream issue isn't just related to
DevExpress, because I would've hit it in my own code.
