I've been getting strange messages of similar character on my system,
too.  I'm running FreeBSD 5.3 on a dual-processor PPro with an Adaptec
AIC7880 controller and two 4.5 GB SCSI drives.  There doesn't seem to be
any data corruption occurring, but the process doing the I/O is stalled
by the errors or messages, whatever they are.

What type of controller and disks do you have?
