No being too familiar with Dump, I'd say it could be a couple of things: full tape, bad tape, bad config (why is it fopening /dev/tty?)

What kind of tape drive is it? What is the capacity of the tape? How big is the file set you are backing up?

Check the dump docs or the ide-tape driver docs and see what 'pc' is.
