Hello amanda users,

I'm confused as to why these dumps, where are late in to be
dumped today (there are 50 some entries in the disklist) are
not making use of the work area.

The current partition is only provide 10 Gig and the work area
is 67 Gig and is completely free.

Once earlier/completed DLE finish with the work area the work
area is re-used by DLE that are dumped later in the amdump run.
Or so I'd thought...
