gfix reports db ownership error way too late [CORE2271]

[firebird-issue-importer]

Submitted by: Saulius Vabalas (svabalas)

on 70GB db gfix reports "Unable to perform operation. You must be either SYSDBA or owner of the database" only after 30 min of CPU/HDD activity. Would be nice to check db ownership first thing without such a huge delay. Most of the time db fixing is an operation performed when customer has outage due to db problems. Every downtime minute counts then.

command line:
/opt/firebird/bin/gfix -mend -full db.fdb

At the same time backported in 1.5 fix for CORE1972 - it's no sense having only half of solution ported.
