Thanks, Dimitry. That's helpful. I think I can fix it by just having my program read all of the values in the BLOB SUB_TYPE TEXT field, clear them, then re-enter them. It certainly worked for the user we had the problem with.

We are in the process of upgrading our app from using FB 2.0.1 to FB 2.5, and have a just a few users beta testing that. I have a DB from a user of that beta version of our software, that has been opened successfully in our app using FB 2.5, and that seems to behave successfully in the app.
