Now you would think that after that many read errors that ADSM might be a
little concerned and place the tape in READONLY so that no more data would
be written on bad media.  By the way, this is a new DLT tape on a drive less
than a month old.  We have had about 15 or so other tapes go bad (or we
think they are bad).  So much for DLT reliability...
