  Has anybody seen anything like this before? It happens to me
every now and then it seems (the backup worked for quite some
time, and now doesn't anymore)

  It looks as if dump got in some kind of loop and never
finishes (usually that disk is dumped in an hour or two,
I interrupted the dump after 10 hours).
