The protocol for communication between dump and its slave processes
- it would appear that when dumping to tape dump forks off children
which read the disc, write to tape, and talk to each other via IPC and
signals.

The chunk of code actually complaining is at line 770 in
/usr/src/sbin/dump/tape.c, and it appears to be upset about something
the child has said back to it.

I'd suggest that you check the you've not written too much data to the
tape and filled it, had a tape error, etc.
