	All versions of FreeBSD

>Description:

	When reading or updating /etc/dumpdates, dump will truncate
	device names (the first column) longer than 16 bytes.  This
	was discovered while dumping vinum volumes, which may have
	long names such as /dev/vinum/rpackages.

>How-To-Repeat:

	``dump -u'' with a device that has a name longer than 16
	bytes.

>Fix:

	Increasing the size to 32 bytes was sufficient for this 
	site.
