[wplug-bsd] 'dump' process on 'pause'

I am performing a dump of my /usr drive to a file on backup server that is 
mounted via nfs.  I noticed that the size of the dump file size stopped 
growing about 15 minutes ago, at about 1.48 GB (just over halfway done). 
Running 'top', I see that the process is on 'pause'.

Origin system (the one runnign the 'dump' command) is runnign FreeBSD 
4.10.  Destination system (nfs server) is running Debian.

Should I be alarmed?

Is there a way to send a signal to a paused process, maybe with 'kill', to 
tell it to restart?

Regards,
-Brandon
