Hello!

We have experienced the following error while running gbak on one of
our customer's databases...

C:\DATA>gbak database.gdb database.gbk -user SYSDBA -password
<password>
gbak: ERROR: message length error (encountered 172, expected 174)
gbak: ERROR: gds_$receive failed
gbak: Exiting before completion due to errors

We do support a number of database servers. They are Interbase 6.0,
Firebird 1.0, and Firebird 1.03. This doesn't seem to be related to
a specific database server version. We are testing with Firebird
1.5. It's version of gbak.exe will report this error as well.

The database does seem to function properly with the program;
however, gbak will not complete a backup. I've been unable to find
information on this error message. Does anyone know what this means?

Thank you in advance,
Steve
