The same happened to me not long ago. It appears to be a *major* bug in
AmigaDOS (sure, it could be intuition, trackdisk.device, or the ARP1.3
commands that I was using - but who believes that?). I hope someone at
Commodore is reading this. When this happened to me, I literally screamed
in frustration (because of the guru, not so much because of the crazy
requesters). Next time, I'm going to coolly drop into ROMWack and gather
clues. Again, people at Commodore: please investigate this one; your
users will be much happier!
