Fix GNU tar?  :-)

With "maxdumps" in amanda.conf.  It will cause more than one estimate (on
separate disks) to be done at the same time, just like during dumping.
Note that it will not run multiple estimate levels of the same disk at
the same time (I don't think) since that would normally beat on the disk
too hard.
