Nothing; shoot the programmer for documenting but not release-testing a command. Recent releases of the scsi(8) command were broken for zero length commands. You need to get an up to date scsi(8), which needs the up to date scsi library. In case you're not running -current, I've dropped a statically linked scsi(8) off in freefall. in ~ftp/incoming/scsi.
