Well now it works again. I thought I would try a reboot before going home and
all is well again. So fresh after a reboot its ok. there must be some resource
getting sucked up (technical term).

This However will come back I am sure as I rebooted today around noon time and
had no tape use since that time and the dump would just hang at the end.

I have had the problem consistently for a while. I consider the current state
very tempoary and just luck for the moment.
