There's a bug in some revisions of the esp scsi chip that cause
the re-select data read from the chip to contain more bytes than
the expected two, and the driver does not yet work around it.

As far as I understand the problem, it sufficient to just ignore
the extraneous data. I'll probably go and implement that.

Check the access bits on /dev/kbd.  This is X's funny way of saying
"Permission denied" ...
