It's a risk, because our bare metal restore procedures depend
on a current SYSTEM OBJECT backup, but I can't let the database
swell to infinite proportions - the performance is horrible.

Luckily, the problem is fixed in v5.1.1.6.

You can always rename the filespace and allow a backup or two to
complete before deleting the old filespace.(At least on the NT platform)
