If I understand Ann right, a Garbage Collection is NOT a Sweep, and
vice versa. So GBAK without -g will do a GC, but it will not Sweep the
database. You can only get a Sweep by using gfix -sweep or when the
sweep limit is reached. Sweeping the database, like backing up, also
does a GC ...

Now if I only understood the exact difference ... ;-)
