>Environment:

day old sup, scsi tape drive
dump done on a 2.2-snap

>Description:

interactive restore of a 2.2 dump seems to fail with a nasty message.

orac:/tmp$ restore ivf /dev/nrst1
Verify tape and initialize maps
Tape block size is 32
Dump   date: Mon Jan  6 00:39:10 1997
Dumped from: the epoch
Level 0 dump of /usr on orac.xyzzy.net.au:/dev/sd0e
Label: none
Extract directories from tape
Initialize symbol table.
restore > cd include
canonname: not enough bufferspace
orac:/tmp$ 

but:
restore xvf /dev/nrst1 include/dlfcn.h

worked fine.

the old 2.2-snap version of restore worked as per normal
>How-To-Repeat:

dump /usr to tape
restore ivf /dev/nrstX
cd include

>Fix:
	
    don't use the interactive part of restore .. or use the old 2.2 binary
