Why didn't smartctl notice that?  In my experience it usually does
report when SMART is disabled.  Is the error not being properly
reported back to userspace maybe?  Tvrtko's original problem report
has lots of uninitialized (or leaked?) data, and a lot of it looks
like ASCII (for example his bogus RAW_VALUEs contain pieces of the
model number).
