I stumbled up this in early January.  I posted a patch to linux-scsi,
but it dosn't seem to be merged at this point.  This problem will also
occur with the aic79xx driver.

Here's the location of the original thread:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=107307695430108&w=2

I just tried the patch on 2.6.3, and it still applies cleanly.
