Well, it works for me (with both the official 0.4b38, and with the
patched version):

[root@deep-space-9 tmp]# dump
dump 0.4b38 (using libext2fs 1.35 of 28-Feb-2004)

Don't see anything obviously wrong there, except maybe that
you look for dump and restore in /sbin, while my rpm installs
them in /usr/sbin.

Once again:
- please verify that /sbin/dump and /sbin/restore are the correct versions
- can you reproduce this with the unpatched dump ?
- can you provide me a small dump exhibiting the problem ?

Thanks.

Stelian.
