Yep lotta bugs fixed, with 2.1.132, and some improvenment.
(Read the announcement for the patch from Joerg, which is included in
2.1.132)

Upgrade to 2.1.132.

I think i see something similar with 2.1.132, just wrote a patch for
2.1.132 (see this mailing list) which makes the currenlty dcd status
available, en wrote a simple tool to monitor it. And i noticed as Joerg
stated in his announcement the soft-dcd status isn't exactly what you
would like to expect. Perhaps this is what you're see-ing.

Works only for hard-DCD detaction.
Hope this helps, and give the 2.1.132 a try
PS: I also mesure also an enormous RXerrors with soft-dcd

Argh! All right, so how am I supposed to work with Linux when
everything's already been done?! Can't these people leave some
broken MSDOS like parts so there's problems left to solve!?....
