RE: Mtx and chg-zd-mtx

A little more information. I f I put one tape in the last slot, then the
chg-zd-mtx -info show the right values, but if I change it back to another
slot, then it stop working again, and show the number of the last slot use,
for example, if I put the last tape into slot 7 I receive:

1 7 1
 and if I put the last one into 6 I receive:

1 6 1

Any thoughts?

Kind Regards.

It's rather suspicious that the second number, rather than corresponding 
to the number of slots you have, corresponds to the number of tapes you 
have loaded.

What happens if you load one more tape (or take one out)?
