dump0.3 stopped working for one filesystem since april

I have used dump0.3 for xet2fs filesystems since it came out, and I was
very happy with it, as the format is compatible with bsd/sun's dump and
restore.

Since april one of the filesystems does not backup anymore:

I get the following message:

/sbin/dump 0bdsfu 32 15000 11000 /dev/nst0 /dev/sda6
  DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Fri May 24 17:43:27 1996
  DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
  DUMP: Dumping /dev/sda6 (/usr/local) to /dev/nst0
  DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
  DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories]
  DUMP: estimated 301164 tape blocks on 0.21 tape(s).
  DUMP: dumping (Pass III) [directories]
  DUMP: master/slave protocol botched.
  DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted.

Does anyone use dump/restore. experienced the same?

As I follow the kernel updates (kernel and libc) I was wondering if
something in april changed that can break a program on one filesystem.

The source of dump is on tsx11-mit.edu, in the ext2fs folder.
