I don't know, but IMO, it should be safe. A failure to allocate memory
should be handled in a safe way, not to corrupt the database. Also the
behaviour may be different for SuperServer and Classic. This question is
better answered by someone knowledgeable about the Fb internal.

Frankly, I was thinking about SERVER_WORKING_SIZE_MAX configuration
parameter when replying to your message. I've just remembered that the
InterBase's Operation Guide says it's only for Windows NT environment.
But, since it's been quite a while since the Op guide was written,
perhaps that has changed, or may be changed in future. I don't see why
such parameter is only applicable to Windows.
