Stefan Esser is somehow on vacation right } now, i'll let it up to him to give the final `yes' for the patch. Well, I'm just back (and scanning my 16MB inbox) ... The first patch is already applied to both -current and -stable. There are other changes planned to the timeout handler, but I'm not absolutely sure about the details, yet. The 1200 seconds timeout before a SCSI bus reset does not cause any harm on a working system, and I'm not sure whether it is required at all (i.e. whether an infinite response time ought to be tolerated). I'll apply a patch within a few days ...
