Not that bug, oh well. Try this one. Take a very close
look at /etc/fstab. Particularly the 2nd field of each
line. Are all the path names properly formed? Do they
all begin with '/'? How about the rest of the file? Any
missing fields? It seems that dump is very intolerent
of a bad /etc/fstab.
This too is a bug. If it turns out to be this, then please
submit an SPR on it. While you're there you should also
mention that a successful dump returns an exit status of
one (1) instead of zero (0) like most programs. I also
consider this one a bug. Maybe it will get fixed in the
OSF/1 based system...
