Just to tell that the patch was submitted to the authors of amanda and

This means your fix is relevant to all the versions I have talked about.
Thank you.
Kind regards

I've been getting occasional failures that leave the following in the
report:
FAILURE DUMP SUMMARY:
taper: FATAL Undefined subroutine
&Amanda::Changer::robot::Interface::MTX::confess called at
/usr/lib/amanda/perl/Amanda/Changer/robot.pm line 2563.
backup1.nhmu.utah.edu pool/burp lev 0 FAILED [out of holding
space in degraded mode]
backup1.nhmu.utah.edu pool/burp lev 0 FAILED [data write: Broken
pipe]
The cause of the failure seems to be a fork failing, but a bug in
AMANDA's
error-handling code is masking the first problem. This module calls
confess(),
but it doesn't use Carp first or otherwise declare &confess.
