Yes.

I only had this problem when taper crashed. I think taper did some
illegal action.
As a result of this the kernel shuts down taper but can't recover like
it should.
Because of this lsmod shows zftape to be used -1 times and rmmod can't
remove
the module.
But I'm happy to say that taper doesn't crash anymore after I've
upgraded to the
latest version. So I don't encounter the problem anymore :)
