Hmmm... Looking through the vast amounts of console output I've captured, it
appears to happen any time - sometimes theres "tagged openings now XX"
messages, other times theres not... (i.e. the first thing that appears on the
console is "ahc2:A:10: no active SCB for reconnecting target - issuing BUS
DEVICE RESET"
