There is a new (beta) version of sg3_utils-1.05.tgz on
http://www.torque.net/sg
that corrects this problem in sgp_dd.


Changelog for sg3_utils-1.05 [20030916]
   - sgp_dd: reduce READ CAPACITY response size to 8 bytes
   - utils/hxascdmp: add utility for displaying ASCII hex
   - sg_readcap: show total size in bytes, MB, GB
   - sg_logs: read log pages twice (first get response length), for
     fragile HBAs
   - sg_modes: fix core dump when corrupted response, don't print
     extra pages
   - sg_iovec.tst: added to examples, for testing sg_iovec
   - sg_map: increase sg device scanning from 128 to 256
