2.1.120 was OK. 2.1.121 and 2.1.122 both have locked up on me doing a
system backup (afio) to SCSI tape (I have numerous SCSI/IDE/NFS disks..both
narrow and wide). Do I need to give more info before I reboot?

The afio and tape commands doing the backup are:
mt -f /dev/st0 rewind
mt -f /dev/nst0 fsf $[$level-1]
cat ${DUMPFILES} | afio -B -o -f -v -b 16k -s 2100m /dev/st0

afio version: Version 2.4.4a dated 06 Jul 1998
