Actually that shouldn't be a problem as long as you have forced writes
turned on (or run a civilized operating system). You can crash the
application very easily by writing on data created by the Firebird DLL,
but that won't corrupt the database. You could, I suppose, get very
unlucky and write over a dirty page in the cache which will turn up
later as corruption.
