I think you're mistaken. The known bug in the DV scsi core was fixed
9 weeks ago (according to Linus' bkweb). There's still at least one
other bug which Dann can replicate at will on one of his machines.
Last I heard, he was working on putting it outside the firewall for
James to look at.
BTW, sym2 is currently the only driver making use of the DV core, so all
the bug reports go to me ;-)
