I'm using chg-multi with two identical Exabyte drives.  The capacity
of each tape is slightly less than 5 Gb.  I have a DLE that, at level
0, creates a dump of 22 Gb.

*** THE DUMPS DID NOT FINISH PROPERLY!
The dumps were flushed to tapes CH0008, CH0009.

Tape spanning occurs within an amdump/amflush. So tapelength*runtapes must be > your largest DLE.
