2.6.14: aic7xxx broken with blktool

I'm using blktool to find info about installed disks. With Debian's 2.6.8, "blktool /dev/sda id" worked fine. With 2.6.14 it's broken (see below). Adaptec 2940UW with a 4.5G Quantum Viking II disk.

It outputs random data from memory as a response to the scsi command, different recent strings different times.

Otherwise the disk works OK.

blktools is from Debian Sarge, package version 4-2, and works fine with 2.6.8-2-686-smp kernel from Debian.
