No, but I'm surprised you see a difference
between 2.1R and -stable ...

There shouldn't be any ...

A diff of ncr.c between those versions does
only list two ID strings and an #ifdef that
evaluates to the same value as before ...

Can you please send more information on the 
error symptoms ?

The NCR registers just report of an aborted
command, with no further hint on the reason.
