I just noticed a problem that seems to be introduced with this release.

I have set runtapes=2.  As the first tape filled up, the taper got "no space
left on device".  Then it retried the failed DLE on the second tape and
reported success.  But the second tape was left empty and the dump is still
in the holding disk.  Here are the relevant log entries:

INFO taper tape VOL01 kb 4556768 fm 5 writing file: No space left on device
START taper datestamp 20060128 label VOL02 tape 1
INFO taper retrying host.do.main:/.0 on new tape due to: [writing file: No 
space left on device]

INFO taper tape VOL02 kb 0 fm 0 [OK]
FINISH driver date 20060128 time 4710.157

And this is from the amdump.1 file:
