Bisection shows that this brokenness is introduced by git-scsi-misc.patch. Someone has gone in and made some ill-advised "improvements" to /proc/scsi/scsi. The switch from "Direct-Access" to "Direct access" broke ofpath. I fixed that (in ofpath) but it remains broken for other reasons. James, this is a non-compatible change to the kernel->userspace interface. Please drop it like a hot potato.
