>Description:
Noticed when running the dump utility overnight, came back to system in the morning
and it was "looping" with scb timeout errors:

sd0(ahc 0:6:0):SCB0x3 - timed out while idle, LASTPHASE == 0x1,SCSISIGI == 0x0
       SEQ ADDR == 0x5
       sd0(ahc 0:6:0): Queueing an Abort SCB
       sd0(ahc 0:6:0): SCB0x3 - timed out while idle, LAST PHASE == 0x1, SCSISIGI == 0x0
       SEQ ADDR == 0x5
       sd0(ahc 0:6:0): no longer in timeout
       ahc0: Issued Channel A Bus Reset. 2 SCBs aborted

PR bin/4333 reported a similar problem and the suggestion was made
to upgrade to the latest 2.2-stable kernel, which I did and am
still having problems.

I tried this with any combination of the AHC options enabled in the
kernel, including none, and it occurs under every one.

The system required a hard reboot to come back on-line.

Here's my kernel probe:Oct 12 01:24:56 room101 /kernel: ahc0 <Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI host adapter> rev 0 int a irq 10 on pci0:10

>How-To-Repeat:
This error occurs under heavy load.  Happens every so often with the 'dump'
utility.
