I've found two different cases for which the db file grows:
1) the first is when my server app crashes. In this case the file
grows when my server app restarts.

2) In this case I have the 2 applications running and when one crahes
the db file grows. I was able to simulate this situation once. I
killed the second apllication (which has 16 open connections) but let
the server app running, The db file growed from 460M to 1.07G. This
happened in the exact moment I killed the app and there was not a
backup running at that time. The fbserver was occuping about 4% CPU
because the server app was still inserting records, I think.

So when the file grows the fbserver is not inactive but running low
(doing inserts).
