FWIW, have filed driver core dump as bug #1534445 

However, have also just found that it doesn't _always_ crash. e.g. if there's
only one DLE and it's of type always-full (that uses the holding disk), it 
does run:

*** And in that case, dump -> holding disk *is* taking a terribly long time 
with 2.5.1b2 compared to 2.4.5p1 

While 2.4.5p1 to holdin disk is presumably slowed somewhat for the local 
filesystems in question by some shared-spindles headthrashing, dump still 
only takes a few minutes at a few MB/sec in 2.4.5p1, 2.5.1b2's sendbackup 
dump was saying it was going to take  14-15 hours... for a 10 GB FS with < 2 
GB of data ? Argh. Also spotted a zombie gzip process hanging about... and I 
don't think indexing is actually working right.

So, anyway, have opened bug #1534629 for the performance issue.
