Ok, I've got some more data on the /dev/rst0 bug.  There
still remains the possibility that it is my drive.

Careful watching showed the following output from ncrcontrol:

At the very start the throughput is about 2x better than what you
see at the top of the ncrcontrol output.

This, allowed to complete the progression, hangs my system every
time.

An immediate ^C on the pax process gave:

/usr/local/pkg/numerics/medusa/medusa/examples/sphere/grid.uu
/usr/local/pkg/numerics/medusa/medusa/examples/sphere/headdp
/usr/local/pkg/numerics/medusa/medusa/examples/sphere/grid.fmt^C
pax: Signal caught, cleaning up.
pax: Waiting for tape drive close to complete...done.
pax: ustar vol 1, 21573 files, 0 bytes read, 380528640 bytes written.
geli# 

I ejected the tape, reinserted it, and then tried:

geli# pax -rvf /dev/rst0
windocs.tar.gz
windocs.tar.gz.1Jun 19 21:23:52 geli /kernel: in getcc reselect by t1.
Jun 19 21:23:52 geli /kernel: in getcc reselect by t1.
Jun 19 21:24:23 geli last message repeated 118 times
Jun 19 21:24:23 geli last message repeated 118 times

windocs.tar.gz.2^C
pax: Signal caught, cleaning up.
pax: Waiting for tape drive close to complete...done.
pax: ustar vol 1, 3 files, 6563840 bytes read, 0 bytes written.

I'm using pax because it's more verbose about it's problems.
Tar is much less verbose about the exact same problem.  
After this, the regular file systems are ok, and there is nothing detected
by fsck.

What's up?  Nothing interesting is output to either the console
or /var/log/messages at this stage.
