Douglas,

Many bugs are already fixed in the 2.5.1 tree, but we didn't made a release.

It is only bug fixes since the 2.5.1p3 release.

I don't remember if this bug was fixed.

Once or twice a week my amanda backups are failing when a dumper exits

In looking at the source there clearly are calls to abort() in several
places. I'm assuming that there is an overflow problem with file
descriptors, that 4294967295 isn't a valid FD?

  driver: event_register: Invalid file descriptor 4294967295

I'm running FreeBSD 6.3 with Amanda 2.5.1p3 from ports.

There isn't much information in the log:
