Oh, one more thing I forgot... this test was on 2.4.0-test6 with a patch to
the latest usb-storage code from the CVS archive. Anyone who wants to
look at that code can get it from
cvs -d:pserver:cvs.linux-usb.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/linux-usb co storage
The in_interrupt() test in the command_abort() function is not in the stock
2.4.0-test6 kernel -- it's only in the CVS archive.
