 the clencher is that amanda labels are 32kB, and the routines to read
 them do not set the block size to 32kB before attempting the read.  I
 recorded that I was going to try -o, but no note of the results.  when I
 get some more new DLTs in, I'll try it out again.
 
 throughput testing indicated that there was no penalty for using 32kB
 blocks, so I gave in and moved on to more changer issues.
 
 the immediate issue was fixed with the included patch and using 32kB
 blocks.
