   Huh. Well, something is weird here and I suspect dump more than sa(4).

More than that I'll have to dig up a tape drive and attach it- I haven't 
used on on FreeBSD in years.
    

I'll test this on the old trusty Tandberg 8Gig QIC drive tomorrow and will
post the results.

  

   Oh. God. Now. Not the Tandberg. OMG.
   Aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
   eeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
