You neglected to mention what kind of tape it is. There are
several types of tapes, served by a jigsaw puzzle of various
drivers.

> Is this fixed in the latest 2.4.21-pres? How about in 2.5.x?

Why don't you try and verify it, then let us know? You may
be the only guy in the world mad enough to use a tape with 2.5.x.
Please share your valuable expirience.
