Re: problem backing up a host with more than 171 disklist entries of root-tar

[John R. Jackson]

I was able to reproduce the problem.  It was what I thought it was, but
the original patch was the wrong solution (sort of -- it gets complicated
with the multiple OS's we have to support).  The following patch forks
a separate amandad process just to write the packet to the service child
and appears to work.

It also fixes a buffer overflow bug I happened to notice.

Please let me know if this solves your problem so I can get it into the
source tree.
