more info:
1.0.x servers crash only in conjuntion with the use of the -se switch in
gbak 1.5
backups made without the -se switch are made correctly.

I know that exposing a database to the world is a thing to avoid so no one
does it and the above problem is not so important, but i think that at
least at a local level it could become a security issue as it could lead
easly to a denial of service.
To kill the server you need only to know a username and a password for that
server, no matter if that username is SYSDBA or the owner of the database
or "someone". So, normal users could easly kill the server with a 1.5 gbak
at hand.
