It is known now!

Actually, there are two bugs here. The second - (cannot disconnect
database with open transactions) has been fixed for final release.

The more important one - gbak: ERROR: free disk space exhausted - has
only just come to our (or at least my) attention. It looks as if gbak
has forgotten how to work with multiple files. The error is triggered
when file one is full.
