@wljjn Do you have any suggestions on how to run the test in question individually so it can be debugged with gdb? So far, I have been unable to achieve...

@fkainz @pstanczyk Can you give any hints on how to run selected tests to be able to debug this problem?

Funny, I just found this PR again as I stumbled across this bug again in the `firebird3.0` package, `firebird4.0` has not been accepted into Debian unstable yet. Have there been...

Ping. Any news on this? Could these packages be updated on PyPi? The ones on PyPi still have the ```-core-v3``` package in their dependencies.
