2.4.9 /dev/nst1 "Bad file descriptor"

[Jonathan Dill <dill@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Since upgrading from 2.4.3 to the 2.4.9 prerelease kernels, long tape
writes fail after 1-2 GB on a 20 GB native tape with "Bad file
descriptor" on /dev/nst1.  I switched back to the 2.4.3 kernel and the
tapedrive is working fine.  When I get caught up on my backups and have
some time to play with it, I'll send some more info.  I'm just hoping
that someone may have heard of a problem like this and know what causes
it.
