[paranoia] annoying rip problem, need help (long debug msg)

[schunn at tu-harburg.de]

Does your SCSI system "freeze" also with other applications?  If so, it 
could be an improper SCSI cable termination or something wrong at
the SCSI connectors between the cable and one of the devices or
between the cable and the adapter.  Check your SCSI system.
