Largestfit() isn't some balancing act between the estimate size

What is the algorithm for starting the dumps anyway ?
ie: what DLEs does it attempt to dump first, is that based
on the taper algorithm ?
As I understand it, largestfit will attempt to write the largest dump
that is currently in the holding area that also fits on the tape.
However, if there is only a single dump in the holding area, that will
get flushed whether it will fit or not. I would like this last behavior
to change if there are other dumps still to complete, as one of these
might fit.
