With the introduction of 64 Bit I/O support in Firebird v1.0 and the
current size of hard disks, the need to use the secondary file feature
has been all but eliminated.

(Because of the exact problems you note above, I am the leader of the
'camp' which feels strongly against the use of the feature -- I would
NEVER recommend or use it)
