You need to give dump a size parameter - the normal behaviour for dump
is to default to a QIC tape sizing, if you use the s parameter and
jigger the number so you get the correct sizing for the tape you
should be fine. The alternative is just put in a huge number and hope
that EOM is handled correctly....
