I have problems -or ignorance, may be- with Firebird's final version for
GNU/Linux. When I add fields to my database -I use IBExpert -,
apparently the base is corrupted. I go to the box Linux, and I make:

1) gfix -v -full mybase.fdb
result:
-bad parameters on attach or believes you database
-secondary server attachments cannot validates you databases

Next, I do:

2) gbak -backup -v -ignores mybase.fdb mybase.fbk
result:
gbak: ERROR: internal gds software consistency check (pointer page
vanished from DPM_next (249))
gbak: ERROR: gds_$start_request failed
gbak: Exiting before completion due to errors
gbak: ERROR: internal gds software consistency check (can't after
bugcheck continued)

What's happening?

TIA

Note: In my box GNU/Linux, I have Interbase in the port 3050 and
Firebird in the 3051. The entrance in the file /etc/services is this:
gds_db 3050/tcp #InterBase Database Remote Protocol
fdb_db 3051/tcp #Firebird Database Remote Protocol
