[Bruno: Would be great if you could comment on this one. Looks to me
like we may only have to bump up a number, but maybe there are
implications that I'm not aware off...]

Hi John,

Thanks a lot for your bug report and your analysis of the problem. I
don;t have any experience with tapes and Mondo Rescue, but I can confirm
that the following is still even in the latest SVN in
mondo/common/my-stuff.h:

#define MAX_TAPECATALOG_ENTRIES 4096    ///< The maximum number of entries
in the tape catalog.

So, the question would be what a reasonable value for this couldlook
like. Would 65536 be ok?

Cheers,
Andree
