FWIW, I've been able to reproduce the problem easily with OSDB and
7.4.6 on 2.0 branch through -current.  I can only test back to July
24th on the 2.0 branch because that is when the driver for the IDE on
my test box was pulled up.

If you can install the OSDB stuff on your system and run 'gmake test'
a few times that should tell right away if it has the same problem.
