Messages output from gfix ought to be helpful and obvious. The way index faults are reported is neither, e.g. 'Index 7 is corrupt on page 354716 in table...' It turns out that "Index 7" refers to RDB$INDEX_ID in RDB$INDICES, which stores an internal smallint as enumerator of indices per relation. If this were not sufficiently unhelpful, the reported number is actually (RDB$INDEX_ID + 1). All of this is undocumented.
