Hi Greg,

This sounds really good, although I have to say I've never encountered a dumpfile
that had such a large task count.  I will review and test the patch-set next week.

BTW, did you test this on a live system that has such a large task count? 
Like for example, as I recall, the task_exists() checks that you removed are
checking for tasks that were found when scanning the lists, but gone by the
time it got around to storing them. 

Thanks,
  Dave
