Okay, this is going to be hard :)

I have prepared packages from the current version in wheezy 
(2.5.1.26351), built for squeeze.

    ftp://ftp.modsoftsys.net/public/firebird2.5-backports/

If these improve the situation, then we at least know the bug is fixed 
in that version and can start looking for the exact fix, which would 
take about 10 iterations (and probably several weeks).
