Hi Steve,

I've done several full archive runs and have not found any screen
corruption whatsoever. I have tested with and without acl and attr
installed and archiving to NFS and directly to DVD.

In other words, unless you can provide more information as per my
initial response I can't do anything here I'm afraid.

Cheers,
Andree
