Multiple DMF offline files are successfully restored but the attrs are 
lost. I wanted to show/test that case.

I agree with Eric that it is the same  root cause but because can occur 
with successful dumps and does not segfault,  Thats why the 2 tests.

Agreed and I will note that in the test description.
