Has anyone encountered this bug and the documented workaround did not
fix the problem?

I've encountered a variety of problems that I can relate to this.

1. Sun Sparc system with fiber attached tape/robot, had the bad patches
but not the workaround, and sg sees the tapes and robot just fine.  The
sg driver worked fine at version 6.5 and 6.5.2.

2. Same Sun Sparc system with scsi card added, workaround patches
applied, and sg cannot see the robot on the scsi bus, only the drives.
The robot and drives on the fiber card are still there and working just
fine.

3. Sun x86 system with fiber attached tape, did not have the workaround,
sg sees only the tape.  After the workaround, sg sees the tape and robot
and I could setup the devices.  After 6.5.2 patch, sg does not see the
robot any more.

I've done the sg.build, and run sgscan a dozen times.  Reconfigure
boots, devfsadm, cfgadm, luxadm probe...   it seems Solaris can see all
the devices down either type of controller, but SG refuses to bind to
the robot.
On the Sparc system, I'm moving the library off of a working 6.5.2
Solaris 9 media server that is being decommissioned, so I know the
library and drives are good.
The x86 system is a new install.
