Obscure possibility:  tape drive block size is set to something fixed
and larger than 32KB.  Reason I suggest that is "dd", which reads off
the label, has a wierd message if its input buffer is too small for
the a tape block and overflows.  Not certain if it is this message or
someother similarly wierd message.
