First fix needed in rev [1898] Now during restore mondorestore crashes when restoring big files

text mode as well as newt mode exhibit the issue. Seems to be linked to the usage of read_file_from_stream_to_stream, used only here, which calls read_file_from_stream_FULL, which calls fwrite and receive SIGPIPE. after 3 slices processed (around)

It appears that this problem occurs when using tapes and gzip as a compressor (-G option of mondoarchive). A workaround is thus to use bzip2 as a compressor in the mean time. I've been able to successfully backup and restore a RHEL4 system with USB tapes and bzip2 (no -G option) without issue.
