I remember having had that problem, too, if only I could remember what
had caused it and how I got rid of it.

I cannot re-create it since I have long ago re-partitioned everything
and I don't have that problem anymore. But I think it must be some bug
in dump, causing it to loop somewhere. I had that on much smaller
filesystems, too. Other than this dump-oddity there seemed nothing
else wrong with that filesystem; even unmounting it and fsck -f did
not reveal any problems.
