First, you should never assume amstatus is telling the whole truth.
It only looks at the amdump file, which is not locked and messages can
get garbled.
Having said that, I'd start looking at the file by hand near the time
of the taper start for the big fs and see what it says is going on that
it cannot start another dump.
