No.  The problem is not in the target device at all.  I reverted to 
5-STABLE and it works flawlessly again.  There's a bug in 6.0's 
scsi/qlogic code.   Setting it to 255 will end up with the same output 
as below, except s/256/255/g.

This bug will prevent those using qlogic cards from using 6.0 - is that 
acceptable for 6.0?
