Let's see...  TQ went in 2000/11/30.  I removed a bunch of DELAY()s
on 2000/12/20.  Those are before the problem began.

FAS support went in 2001/03/29.  thorpej_scsipi went in 2001/04/25.  
I suppose the cause is probably one or the other of those.

Can you try a pre-thorpej_scsipi kernel and see if it still has
the problem?
