restore via netcat not ending

Hello,

I've got a restore process running now that doesn't seem to want to
end.  The dump (level 0) was made this morning and sent to another
host on the network.  I reformatted the partition and am restoring the
43GB dump as such...

restore#  cd /data && nc -l 1234 | restore -rf-
backup% nc restore 1234 < data.dump

I watched the file system slowly fill up for about 4 hours, then
network and disk I/O dropped dramatically after the restore file
system is roughly the same size as the dump file.  Yet the restore is
still running.

When I look at the file system, the parent directories are still owned
by root and 700.  Will this thing ever end?

Doug
