Yes, well, I have not been able to myself reproduce it.

Some of the issues you brought up in the other mail have been worth all
this ruckus in any case.

I'll be OOT from thu-wed so I may not respond quickly or get to looking
at bacula myself. I did leave a couple tape drives hooked up to one of
my 4.8 boxes so I can fool around with stuff remotely if I get a chance.
