sbwrite: Memory allocation error! (header)

Question:

Env:
  AIX 4.1.4
  sysback.rte 4.1.1.0   
  Tape 4mm 2gb

Problem:
  Set the block size of the tape drive to 0
  Run this command:
  mkvgback -xf /dev/rmt0 vg00

  It failes with this error message:

Rewinding /dev/rmt0 ...
Generating LVM information ..
Generating table of contents ..
Generating file list ..
Pre-processing /something filesystem ..
Pre-processing sblv3 logical volume ..
Writing table of contents ..

sbwrite: Memory allocation error! (header)
sbwrite: Invalid argument

Action Taken:
  This seems to be only a problem when using a block of
  0.  I had the customer change that block size to
  1024, which corrected the problem for now.

  Opened up a problem record with TJ

Fixed with the April 14 version of the sysback 4.1.1 trial
