I'm planning a straight-forward change to "dump" to make its exit codes confirm to the man page. Currently "dump" returns "3" (i.e. non-recoverable error) in a number of places where it should return "1" (startup error). No big deal. My concern however, is that people may be using the `wrong' return values in their backup scripts. If you feel you are going to be badly affected by such a change and if you feel this change shouldn't take place, please speak up now!
