305.0. "OP:MED GUI Find Cartridge hangs on VMS." by NABETH::alan (Dr. File System's Home for Wayward Inodes.) Tue Mar 25 1997 15:38

	The Find Cartridge command hangs when a hard search is
	needed to find a cartridge.  If MRU_WAIT is set for the
	GUI, then it completes eventually.  This suggests a
	missing mrd_shutdown() for some startup.

	As I suspected this was a mrd_startup() leak.  There were cases
	when mrd_shutdown() wasn't being called after a startup or a
	show.  Finding these in the Find support, started a trail that
	lead to Show and the incremental slot scan, but I think I've
	got them all.

	During an incremental slot scan, the robot *will* be held open;
	even on direct connect SCSI on Digital the extra startup time
	made it too slow.  OpenVMS on an HSJ would be even worse.  It
	will close the robot on a Stop or Pause.
