I don't think it is 'early warning for EOM' he gets. His is a QIC drive...
QIC drives transparently write two filemarks at EOD, and st(4) doesn't play
nice with this habit.

I had to hack st.c from NetBSD 1.3 to 1.5.x to get it to work with Tandberg
QIC drives - the issue bites Amanda, too. 1.6 appears to fix the issue, so
an upgrade would help here. Scott, if that is not an option, ask me for the
1.5 patches.
