It means the same thing as a fermata over a double bar line: stop and wait until the conductor starts the ensemble again. It happens twice in the 1st movement of Rimsky-Korsakow's 3rd symphony (all right it's Kalmus! :) )
A fermata is over a note or rest, a double bar, or a closing repeat sign. If over a note or rest, it extends the duration. Otherwise, it is equivalent to "fine", except that you can continue after the section it ends, IOW use it more than once.
What could a fermata over an ordinary bar line possibly mean? A bar
has no duration, and you usually don't end at one. Does the piece
need a double bar?
