Does anyone other than me have problems with end-of-tape processing?
Imagine the following sequence:
	$ mount/init=cont mta0: foo
	$ copy/log t.tmp mta0:*.*	! very large file
	<reach end of tape, operator mounts next reel, gives REPLY/TO=n>
	$ dismount mta0:
	$ mount mta0: foo	! first tape again
	$ copy/log mta0:*.* *.*
	<tape spins merrily along, reaches the end, runs off the reel>

We're running VMS 4.4 with STC tridensity drives on Emulex controllers.
