When the tape hangs with an unkillable process, its relevant PS flags are
"physstrat" and "DL+". It doesn't hang forever, just a very long time, like
someone's confused milliseconds with microseconds, or some such.
Also, when writing to the 2nd tape in a CPIO archive, it doesn't actually
write to the tape. systat -vmstat records lots of stuff going to the tape
device (a SCSI QIC-525 in this case) very quickly - way beyond the speed it
can actually do but there's no actual activity. Dump on the otherhand seems
fine.
