Were the number of tags ever reduced?  You'll probably have to boot
with '-v' to know for sure as Jordan moved the message that indicates
when this occurs behind "if (bootverbose)".

Perhaps the controller is getting overloaded by too many overlapped
commands.  It could also be that your cabling or termination is
inadequate causing a REQ or ACK to be lost during some data transfers.
Are you using 'Forced Perfect' terminators?  Is your cable < 1.5m in
length?
