Guennadi and Jamie, thanks for your help on this.  However, I'm afraid I have 
to bail out at this point.  My tape drive was the only reason I was keeping 
my old DC395UW controller going, and it has now gone bad.  So I've had to 
yank both the card and tape drive and install a different backup solution.  
So, I can't test any patches.

Good luck, and my highest regards to both of you for your continuing work on 
this project.  You are making one corner of Linux and open source software 
work.

Andrew.
