Problems with 4.2BSD ts11 driver

[Steve Grandi]

We have a DEC ts11 tape drive on one of our VAX-11/750s.  If the
system is busy, several hard tape errors will send the driver into
never-never land (the process that was using the tape will be stuck in
D mode and cannot be killed) and the tape drive will be unusable until
the system is rebooted.  Has anyone seen (and hopefully cured!) this
problem?  What I should really do is replace the ts11 with a second
Kennedy 9300----
