>Description:

The dump(8) command segfaults:

$ dump 0af /dev/null /
  DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Sun Feb 25 20:44:21 2001
  DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
  DUMP: Dumping /dev/da0a (/) to /dev/null
  DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
  DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories]
  DUMP: estimated 67655 tape blocks.
  DUMP: dumping (Pass III) [directories]
  DUMP: dumping (Pass IV) [regular files]
  DUMP: SIGSEGV: ABORTING!
  DUMP: SIGSEGV: ABORTING!
  DUMP: SIGSEGV: ABORTING!
  DUMP: SIGSEGV: ABORTING!
  DUMP: SIGSEGV: ABORTING!
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

dump was working fine in -current as of Dec 25.  The only changes
to it since then are the introduction of <sys/queue.h> instead of
a home-rolled list and the replacement of '\007' with '\a'.  These
changes are innocuous; if backed out, dump still segfaults.  This
suggests that the problem has been triggered by a kernel change.

>How-To-Repeat:

$ dump 0af /dev/null /

>Fix:

None known.
