Yes; it means the task was still in use when we tried to free it.  I
surmise that this is the tascb not the ascb in asd_abort_task(). What
this seems to indicate is some sort of race between the abort completing
the task and the owning entity taking it off the sequencer list.

I don't understand this piece of the driver enough yet to fix a more
definite cause.

Gilbert Wu should be taking over eventually, but for now it's a bit
unmaintained.
