Does the tape-spanning code in 2.5 no longer require you to have
a holdingdisk larger than the DLE to work?   If so, what happens
with a large DLE when the tape catches up to the buffer, does all
taping stop?  And if the client dumper dies during taping, does
the taper sit there indefinitely and block the rest of the dumps?
I'll admit I'm not very familiar with the tape-spanning features,
so perhaps these are stupid questions.
