It uses different parameters can specify buffer as %age of memory, use
memory mapped file as buffer, lots of good stuff.

But changes needed to accommodate use esp. the error recovery (what to do on
sigpipe etc.)

Tracked here: http://trac.mondorescue.org/ticket/809

Did you just used it as a bare replacement or did you had to adapt command
