ANother unfounded assumption bites the dust. I have absolutely no idea what is causing this, it seems to happen every time the tape is either opened or closed - and 'seems' to cause no harm. It started after I did a cvsup from RELENG-2.2 and 'make world' the evening of May 31. The previous cvsup etc took place approximately 2 weeks prior to that. THe tape drive is an HP Colorado T4000 running off my ahc AHA-2740A. Tom
