I guess if the dump was being split over multiple tape files then it
would be useful to see the fact that a file was split between them.
This may be the original intent of the output.
Are you using real tape media, or a file, I suspect the file case could
be smart enough not to do the split as it does not make a whole lot
of sense there.
