Yes, maximum dump size is calculated.

I posted an older version of the patch a couple of months ago.
Someone suggested that there should an amanda.conf variable to turn
this option on or off.  I haven't added that yet.  My patch doesn't
make as much difference with runtapes greater than the real number of
tapes.

Since my cvs connection is timing out, I'm unable to post an updated
patch right now.  I'll look at it again later.
