 Hi,
 
 This seems to be somehow related to gzip(1) change in 6.3. Can you
 reproduce the problem with GNU gzip from ports?
 
 $ restore -xNP '/usr/bin/gzip -dc test.dump.gz'
 Header with wrong dumpdate.
 unknown tape header type 16843009
 abort? [yn] y
 dump core? [yn] n
 $ restore -xNP '/usr/local/bin/gzip -dc test.dump.gz'
 Header with wrong dumpdate.
 You have not read any tapes yet.
 If you are extracting just a few files, start with the last volume
 and work towards the first; restore can quickly skip tapes that
 have no further files to extract. Otherwise, begin with volume 1.
 Specify next volume #: 1
 set owner/mode for '.'? [yn] n
