restore can optionally dump core when it encounters a "panic" situation. If the operation is a verify at the time this happen the working directory is the root of the target partition. restore should change to the directory from which it was launched before invoking abort(). The upstream maintainer is addressing this.
fixed in upstream 0.4b39 I have just released.
I updated dump packages to 0.4b39 and released updates for FC2/FC3. Thanks
