Seems so.

Still same kernel, same environment (e.g. both times running the X
server)?

Can you please cross check, i.e. go back to the older version of ftape
and try whether it still works, then use the newer version and try
again.

Please try to run the same tests with both driver versions, using the
same environment.

Regards

Claus
