Joshua,
No, in fact the host is running the 2.4.7-10smp kernel that was
originally installed.  I'm anticipating replacing this machine with new
hardware sometime this year, so I think I'll just switch to tar until I
can rip it out.

Strangely, most of my clients are 2.4.x Linux machines, and this is the
only one I've had a problem with using dump.  MMMV (My Mileage Must
Vary).  ;)

Thanks!
Eric
