It looks to me like sdparm is spitting out invalid areas in memory...sounds like bad code somewheres, maybe. I'll fire an email to the upstream maintainer for info.
Joshua: could you do a few things: 1) Gather the following information about your /dev/sda drive from these locations: * cat /proc/scsi/scsi * dmesg * /var/log/messages 2) Past the info into a comment or attach it as a file if the output is too big. 3) Try the sdparm-0.95 beta here and see if it causes the same problems from http://sg.torque.net/sg/sdparm.html
I thought I had stated this but it looks like I left it out of the original bug report. This is a 3Ware SATA controller. I don't expect sdparm to be able to set any parameters on it but I don't expect it to spew garbage either.

Joshua, I just added 0.95 to CVS, so it should sync out to the mirrors shortly. Try that on your box and see if it solves the problem. Communicating with the sdparm author, he added some defensive code to the region in sdparm which may be triggering this particular issue.
This is is resolved as of at least v1.01 if not earlier. Sorry for taking 2 years to test this, I wasn't CC'd on the last comment.
