OK, thanks.  I was just looking at the 41,00 entry under ABORTED
COMMAND as the nearest match.  Maybe things aren't getting printed
correctly.

If not, maybe I should try to get an explanation of the code from
Quantum.

The setup is fairly simple.  Eight disks, all internal.  Four each on
channels of a 3940UW.  A single ribbon cable connects each set, and
termination is enabled on the last drive in each chain.  The only
unusual feature is that all the disks are in hot-swap cannisters, so
there's some internal cabling there.

At the moment, I only get the error on sd0 and even there it only
happens once a day or so.  Any ideas on where to start narrowing down
the problem.

OK.  I was wondering whether the problem I'm having might be related
to the other ahc problems.
