David,
Could you try the attached patch?
It should fix the driver crash.

Amanda "driver" process just upped and dumped core - guess I got my wish
for a crash... Could be entirely unrelated to previous performance problem,
of course.
FWIW, have filed driver core dump as bug #1534445
However, have also just found that it doesn't _always_ crash. e.g. if there's
only one DLE and it's of type always-full (that uses the holding disk), it
does run:
*** And in that case, dump -> holding disk *is* taking a terribly long time
with 2.5.1b2 compared to 2.4.5p1
While 2.4.5p1 to holdin disk is presumably slowed somewhat for the local
filesystems in question by some shared-spindles headthrashing, dump still
only takes a few minutes at a few MB/sec in 2.4.5p1, 2.5.1b2's sendbackup
dump was saying it was going to take 14-15 hours... for a 10 GB FS with < 2
GB of data ? Argh. Also spotted a zombie gzip process hanging about... and I
don't think indexing is actually working right.
So, anyway, have opened bug #1534629 for the performance issue.
