 This bug still exists in 8.3-STABLE from few weeks back.  Restoring tape 
 likely written with Sunos
 
 lelu# restore -i -f file1
 Tape is not a dump tape
 lelu# file file1
 file1: dump format, 4.2 or 4.3 BSD without IDC
 lelu# restore -i -v -f file1
 Verify tape and initialize maps
 Tape block size is 32
 Tape is not a dump tape
 lelu#
 
 So, it seems that the tape is dump tape, but cannot be read.  file1 has 
 been pulled from the tape with dd.
 
 I happened to have a FreeBSD 4 in one host, and taking a binary from 
 there seems to work.
