problem with dumper in amanda 2.4.4

[Ashwin Bijur]

When I run amanda backups, I am getting the following message in 
/var/log/messages:

kernel: application bug: dumper(23061) has SIGCHLD set to SIG_IGN but 
calls wait()

The backups are taking an unusually long time.  Does this have to do 
anything with the above message?

I am running amanda 2.4.4 on Redhat 9.0.

Thanks for your help.
