I have here a Workstation Solutions Exabyte tape unit.
It's attached to a DN3000 running the SR10.2 OS.

Every night the backup script is executed by cron.

About once every few weeks or so, I get the following messages
repeated over and over again and the backup aborts.

.
.
.
Unable to open stream to /dev/tty.
Unable to close stream to /dev/tty.
Unable to open stream to /dev/tty.
Unable to close stream to /dev/tty.
.
.
.         
         
This has been going on for about 4 months now and it's 
starting to annoy me.    

Usually I have to power off/on the Exabyte unit or
reboot the node or both to clear the problem. 

Is this bug indigenous to SR10.2? Workstation Solutions?
or both??  (I hate third party stuff! :-)

Any help would be appreciated.
