I see, but in this case, there's no actual corruption. But somehow there's a
false alarm..
The original database was created in IB4 , and updated several times by
backing up and restoring. It looks like there's some kind of a memory
management problem.. Ah.. I need to tell this too. Once or twice, I got
some errors saying the database was corrupted when I tried to backup.. I
tried some time later, the error was gone, and I backed up successfully. And
that gbk file can be restored...

The command line was, gbak -b -t /blabla.gdb /blabla.gbk
