When the first disklist entry is complete in the holding disk.

if you start with very small files first in the dumporder, this will 
probably happen.  Try starting that string with a couple of capital 
S's.  They will take enough time to write that the rest of the 
disklist may well be done by then.  Its very nearly so here with 37 
entries.
