  These would appear to be some of the problems documented in PR#5510,
which is partially fixed in -current and 1.3.3.  I was able to duplicate
some of the problems that Greg Wohletz reported in that PR, and fix or
work around them, but Greg was still having problems that I was not
able to duplicate on my system and was not able to come up with anything
for Greg to try that would help me understand where the problem was.  My
guess is that it depends upong the SCSI devices attached to the system,
and the devices I have don't exhibit that problem.

  Until I can get a device configuration that has the same problem, this
is probably not likely to get fixed soon.  [Also, when the pmax finally
gets switched to the MI ncr53c9x driver, the problem may disappear.]
