  I think there may be more to this than just coincidence.  We have had these
same messages show up on our machines since the upgrade to 3.3.2.  There have
not been any obvious problems other than the annoying messages.

  On one machine:

Apr  4 09:05:42 adchl1 unix: sc0,1: Resetting SCSI bus: timeout after 30 sec
Apr  4 09:05:42 adchl1 unix: dks0d1s0 (/): retrying request
Apr  4 09:06:54 adchl1 unix: dks0d4s10: retrying request

  On another:

Apr  5 16:57:09 adcs00 grcond[27111]: CIO: sc0,5: Resetting SCSI bus: timeout
after 120 sec
Apr  5 16:57:09 adcs00 grcond[27111]: CIO: dks0d1s0: retrying request
Apr  5 16:57:09 adcs00 grcond[27111]: CIO: dks0d4s10: retrying request

  We did not make any changes to the hardware during or since the upgrade.
I'm inclined to think the clue lies in the fact that both of these machines
have Gigatape 8mm tape drives.  Our machine's without the 8mm tapes do not
record these messages.  What's up?
