I've got weirdness too, except with .34+

Zen-Machine# [~] mt -f /dev/nst0 seek 20
mt: /dev/nst0: Input/output error

Zen-Machine# [~] mt-st stoptions can-partitions
Zen-Machine# [~] mt-st mkpart 10
/dev/tape: I/O error

With .34 it would work when it wanted too. Now with .36pre2 it just bitches. Any
ideas?
