Hi, It seems that the corruption is not in a backversion because gbak
with -g parameter didn't work. The -v parameter shows that the
consistency check seems to be when writing one of the table's data. I
droped the table, but when running again gbak, the consistency check
moves to another table, when dropping it, then it moves to another...
and so on.
