The return value for down_interruptible was incorrectly checked!  
updated patch enclosed.

This attached patch is against current scsi-misc-2.6 (minus original  
down_interruptible patch).

ObligatoryDisclaimer: Please accept my condolences regarding Outlook's  
handling of patch attachments (inline gets damaged, please use  
attachment).
