In that case, it must be a bounds checking error. Perhaps this one in
cd.c:
> if(dk_ndrive < DK_NDRIVE) {
> sprintf(dk_names[dk_ndrive], "cd%d", unit);
> dk_wpms[dk_ndrive] = (150*1024/2);

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Here the unit number for statistics is set to -1 (``none'') and statistics
aren't kept for this or subsequently attached drivers of any type.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Here the ``none'' unit number is assumed to be 0. Other drivers check
correctly: `if (xd->dkunit >= 0)'.
