Ftape (or kernel?) bug in 2.1.85..

As appears, when I try to access /dev/qft0 like
e.g. tar -cf /dev/qft0
kerneld loads only ftape.o module but does not
load zftape.o module.
With only ftape.o module loaded ftape does not
work at all but bombs out with "operation not
supported by device" error.
So the only way to make ftape work in 2.1.85
is to load ftape.o and zftape.o manually with
insmod. This is not how I used to do with
earlier kernels when kerneld loaded ftape.o
automatically (it still does it, but ftape.o
doesn't do any good without zftape.o).
Other than that ftape works OK in 2.1.85.
Cordially,
Sergei
