Thanks, but I don't see any evidence that 3.5-2 actually has an updated 
libmthca.  It seems to have libmthca-1.0.6-1.src.rpm which seems to be the 
same version I have via the distro.

The release notes indicates an updated libmthca compared to 3.5-1, but this 
appears to be a mistake.  It is updated compared to 3.5 though.

Also, apparently err -16 indicates EBUSY so perhaps the hardware had locked up 
somehow.
