I was actually testing my backup script, and doing a full,
level 0 dump of my filesystems. The first tape was not yet complete
when I left for home. The next morning I can in and changed tapes.
That's when this started happening. There is not really much in my
crontab, just updatedb at 0:23, makewhatis at 0:03, updaterootns
(updates my list of root nameservers) and 0:33, uprecord (logs my
machines uptime "record" at 7:00.

I will try doing another level 0 dump right now, hopefully it will
complete before my workday is out.
