I've found a fix for this - the DEVFS code was overrunning a buffer in st.c,
causing it to do strange & terrible things to other stuff on the stack. To
fix, change line 276 of /sys/scsi/st.c to be
static char name[128];
It all works now, can someone commit a change (and probably review the
buffersize for this stuff that DEVFS uses? I see some other errors (nothing
fatal) on another relating to the psm0 device abouth not being able to
allocate a name slot.)
