I'm having a problem with cartridge tape dumps that used to work on SunOS
3.5 and now doesn't on SunOS 4.0.  The following:

	dump 6ucf /dev/nrst8 /dev/rxy0e
	dump 6ucf /dev/nrst8 /dev/rxy0f

all dumps fine with no reported problems.  restore will only work on the
first file saved.  Attempts to restore the other files on the tape (with
'restore is 2') will fail with the vague message:

	Tape read error: Error 0

Anyone else note such behaviour or am I just doing something wrong?
