Pavel's comment isn't applicable to CS on Windows. (I checked backed to an
earlier message of yours, where you stated "I'm running FB 1.5 classic on a
Win2k3 server, with an 18GB database."

Bradley's observations were re SS vs Classic on Linux.

That's right, because gbak has to connect to the database when it has
created it; and local connections to Classic on Windows have to be through
localhost or (in some Windows configurations) the server's explicit node
address.
