Chuckle, thats two of us, Jon.  Its been working here since forever, 
and I've not had but one hiccup since I switched to vtapes that left 
something in the holding tank.  I still hadn't fine tuned my tapesize 
vs tapecycle and it thought it was too big for the 'tape' when there 
was still 50GB available on the disk.  Now I'm slowly working my way 
down in dumpcycle days till it just about fills the disk.  Those 
adjustments seem to take at least tapecycle days to settle.
