>Description:
	When reading through a tape to get a list of all items stored
	on it, the driver will detect short reads correctly, but not
	report this to the application trying to read the tape.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Put a few save sets on a tape.  Write a program to inventory
	the tape by reading through it and issuing the equivalent of
	"mt fsf" to skip from one set to the next.  Watch it loop after
	reading through the last set on the tape.
>Fix:
	Not known.
