You are using the different SCSI buffer length, right ?

Please try something that computes to a number of lines about a "natural
boundary", as set by the SCSI buffer length. E.g. if the debuglog says
you are reading 100 lines at a time, set it up in a way that would read
199.5 lines approximately.

I am already thinking in this direction, too. However my hangs are repro-
ducible, so we should try to find a fix or workaround.

Hmm - maybe this is realted ... It seems to be a relatively weird resolution
and you are loosing/winning bytes ...

Maybe this is what causes my lock, as the crappy NCR53c400 card is not at
all tolerant to any errors ...
