I've heard from two different and unrelated sources that Firebird
corrupted data for them; the only way out was with backups.  They didn't
have problems with PostgreSQL, so I guess that make it unlikely that the
problem was hardware issues.

I'm also told that Firebird's numerical datatypes handling is horrible.
I don't have personal experience with it though.
