Hi Greg,

First, sorry for not posting something about this sooner - I'd
pinged Kay on IRC about it, and I *promise* I had planned to
forward it to the scsi/ati guys, but work has been hell this 
week.  Anyway, here's the initial report we got about it, along
with a lot of debugging by other folks (including the OP, who
I think is 'resonance' in that thread):
