Borland's Interbase has automatic db sizing, runs on Linux, and the 6.0.1 
version is 'free' to use.  6.5 (latest) version is not.  Firebird, the 
Interbase open source fork, based on 6.0.1 is obviously 'free' as well.

I have run IB on Linux and Windows and found it to be reliable -- never, ever 
crashes -- although my databases are not under heavy loads.
