This all happened, and firebird2.5 version 2.5.2.26540.ds4-1 had 20 
days in unstable without new bugs. It migrated to testing after 
a giveback on sparc (first attempt crashed the compiler). Perhaps it 
is time to consider it for 7.0.1?

The full source and binary diffs are attached for reference.

Here's the changelog since wheezy proper

   * add out/crash-create-db-restricted.patch
     fixes a server crash when attempting creation of a database outside of
     allowed paths with firebrd.xonf setting of 'DatabaseAccess' other than
     'Full'
--------------8<--------------8<---------------

All of the patches under "taken from upstream" are either regressions 
in the official 2.5.2 upstream release, fixed in upstream Svn, or 
fixes to crashes/possible db corruption also present in the current 
wheezy package.

The last patch, out/crash-create-db-restricted.patch is for a crash 
that is claimed fixed in upstream Svn, but the actual commit is 
missing. I have produced it by looking at the surrounding code. 
Upstream bug is at http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-3996

Thanks for your time,
