This REALLY hurts me, especially tonight, as I am spending my time
with updating the AMANDA-docs ...

PLEASE GET AWAY FROM USING LOCALHOST !!!

-- sigh --

AMANDA 2.4.4p4 has a WARNING for this no-no ..

If there are 4 dumpers active for the Linux-clients, you have already
used up the maximum number of clients that you have specified by
setting "inparallel" to 4.

Increase this parameter (I have used a value of 12 on a PentiumII
happily) and PLEASE get rid of using "localhost".
