I have them too. My config is adaptec 1542b  Quantum ProDrive 240s
and Wangtek 5150ES. It seems, that there are problems only when
reading the tape. I haven't got a reboot when writing (yet ;-))
The debugger alsways reports the failure to be in
	_spec_read  0xfd
which is called from ufs_spec_read.
This doesn't occur, when I only read short parts (<< 1Mb) from the tape.
So, if I use mt to wind to the wanted spot on the tape and use
tar only for a short time, then there is no reboot

So long
	Uwe
