Hi Ruslan,

I think this is the bug that cause the segment error, but I have a 
corrected workaround.

I have been saving a blob with this code

           myCursor.BlobField(fieldName).writeRawData(propertyValue)

(propertyValue is a variant (RB) that holds a string).

Up to 2.5.9 it worked.

With 2.5.9, if propertyValue is empty it corrupts the blob field (you 
get the segment error I reported).

Changing the code to

         if propertyValue.StringValue = "" then
           myCursor.BlobField(fieldName).SetBlank
         else
           myCursor.BlobField(fieldName).writeRawData(propertyValue)
         end if

  seems to work OK.

I realize .setBlank is the proper way to do things. But setting the 
blob to empty shouldn't corrupt the database, should it?
