I've fixed some similar bugs, at least for the UltraStor. The next test
release of my UltraStor device driver will hang less often. An easy way to
hang the current release of my UltraStor device driver is to try to read
from a tape drive that doesn't have a tape loaded.

I've also made some changes to the generic SCSI code in conjunction with my
UltraStor fixes. One change is not to retry a "not ready" condition, but
return the failure to higher level code. The disk, tape, or other driver
can decide whether to abort, retry, or ignore the error.
