Um, yes it was.  The original code did this

sb_stor_bulk_transfer_sg(..., &srp->resid, ...)

Which was at liberty not to touch resid, which it chose not to do in the
error legs.

Your new code does

int partial; <- stack uninitialised
sb_stor_bulk_transfer_sglist(..., &partial, ...);
scsi_set_resid(srb, scsi_bufflen(srb) - partial);

If the function doesn't touch partial, as it doesn't in the error legs,
resid now gets set with rubbish.

Actually, my code is still wrong .. we have to set it to
scsi_bufflen(srb) - scsi_resid(srb) so that it comes back the same if
left untouched.
