I am sorry I cannot provide you with a solution (or an answer for your client).
BUT, when customers have custom applications, I make it a point to test the app on an NT Workstation _before_ it goes in production on WF/MF (my way of setting customer's expections)... If they have experienced corruption before accessing the app through MF, then the problem lays outside the Citrix ring... My course of action would be to try to replicate the corruption problems from a local workstation (if you are already in a live situation, I understand that it is easier said than done). One of our client is accessing an Oracle DB/Financial with 250 users through MF1.8a... No glitch so far...
