Scratch that -- operator failure.  ;)
The patch makes no difference over hibernates in the SMART logs.

It's still logging extra Power-Off_Retract_Count pegs,
which it DID NOT USED TO DO not so long ago.

Now I'll poke at the shutdown again.

Meanwhile, Stephen:  Could you try without this line in the patched file:

        case ATA_16:
+               dev->needs_sync_cache = 1;

Ie. comment out that last "dev->needs_sync_cache" line.

Cheers
