Writing file containing NULL byte with 'dd' to a Exabyte Tape

[P. Allen Jensen]

I have been having a problem with an exabyte tape on a Multiflow/Trace
system.  When writing a binary file which contains bytes whose value
is NULL, I get a tape-write error.

          dd if=binary.data of=/dev/rmt5

Is this because of the representation of EOF or a bug of some kind ?
Tar and dump work fine, cp has the same problem as dd.

Any suggestions ?

Please respond via e-mail rather than a followup.

Thanks,
