Look, Luben; I don't mind you making an arse of yourself on the mailing
lists; that's about par for the course nowadays.

However, failing to report serious bugs you knew about in your code, and
have known about for two years, is tantamount to sabotage ... especially
when you've been reading the bug reports on the mailing list.  I have to
wonder how many more such bugs you've left in the code for users to
find.

I think you're fully aware that my test rig consists of a couple of SAS
cards and drives donated by IBM and two expanders donated by LSI, plus a
bit of equipment scavenged from Intel.  I have no access to
sophisticated tools like protocol analyzers.  However, thanks for the
advice and help.
