We have been discovering, on a somewhat infrequent basis,
tapes that go physically to read-only onthe tab in our 3494.
And yet each time I can produce logs that show the file was
written on since the last time the robot door was opened/closed.
In other words I can only believe that the tab is marginally write enable
when the robot slams it back into its slot and causes it to go read-only
