As Ann suggested, it looks as if you're possibly encountering a buggy byway
in the gbak code that affects your particular conditions. Therefore, it is
highly useful to know as much as possible about those conditions.

1. You say "fb 1.5ss". Which sub-release?
2. Are you using the NPTL build on the 2.6.9 kernel machine?
3. Or, alternatively, have you disabled NPTL in your environment settings
in Firebird's init, in order to avoid threading problems in NPTL Linux?
4. Are you using the (withdrawn) AMD build?
5. Which particular Linux distribution are you running?
6. Are you running this on a hyperthreading machine?
