I applied the suggested fix and now both the app and the admin tools
work perfectly.

The mystery is how could everything work flawlessy till this morning
(before the upgrade) with this parameter set to 1 and even more how
it got set to 1 to begin with, considering we did not even know about
the gfix command at all.

Anyway the important is that it's fixed, now I'll also apply to the
other dozen apps databases that for some reason are all set to sweep
= 1.

Cheers
