Luckily, the damaged table was one which rarely changes, so I was able to restore it from backup with good results. But I am noting down this suggestion for future reference.

But before you backup the database, make a copy, use gfix to set it to read only, and back it up with gbak, using the -g switch to suppress garbage collection. If that works, you're unlikely to have lost data. Backup walks each table in storage order. The structures are linked, so a lost or damaged data page will show up.

Hello Josef, Look into firebird.log - there should be information about corrupted record/table. You can also check your database with FBFirstAID Diagnostician.
