We just upgraded to SunOS4.1 from 4.0.3c (SS1's).  We were running the SUN
Consulting driver for our Exabyte, which is not needed under 4.1.

However, under SunOS4.1, the command

	mt -f /dev/nrst1 eom

fails.  Often dumps core.  I have also seen a core dump from

	mt -f /dev/nrst1 fsf 1

Has anyone else had this problem?  Is there anything we can do?  It is
screwing our backup procedures up the wall.
