During a backup from SCSI disk to SCSI tape I hit ^Z to stop the tar.
After about 10 seconds I pressed "fg" and there the panic came along.
Interestingly the ^Z was not delayed, but worked immediately. From other
UNIXes I know that hitting ^Z during tape access can take some time.
Is there a problem with signal processing, especially with resume after a
suspend? Maybe someone not having a AIC7xxx could try this too. I'm not to
much convinced that active termination instead of passive termination on my
CD-ROM drive will solve the problem:

----------
I could reproduce the panic: Pressing ^Z during backup, then waiting
for a few seconds and then pressing "fg". The light on the AHA2940
stayed on continuously then after some seconds the panic came. This
time I haven't copied the console screen, but the values were very
much the same (numscbs = 9, etc.). Previously I had enabled
DEBUG_TIMEOUT in scsi.c, and I have some messages captured on my IDE
drive:
