Heh. Well, it isn't what you think. In this case, the kernel is retrying
the command over and over again. If I had to guess, I'd say that the drive
is returning busy status. In that case, we wouldn't get any sense
information.
I've attached a patch for camcontrol.c. Can you try the above stop command
using this patch?

Ahh. Well, I could have probably given you an a.out version of it, but
I guess you need to upgrade to ELF sometime or another.

Good deal. And, as I said above, the problem is that the kernel is
retrying the command indefinitely. The patch to camcontrol that I've
attached will tell us exactly what error is returned. Once I know that, we
can try to decide what to do.
