We're now running (actually, this happened very late yesterday afternoon)
a version of dump(1) that forks off an auxiliary process to do its tape
writes.  This was done in hopes of greater speed, through concurrent disk
and tape operations.  It may have speeded things up some; the effect was
not spectacular.  More to come.
