@ Blue:

As far as I know the Load_Cycle_Count (i.e. this bug) is all about head parking and not about spinning the drive down. And head parking definitely /is/ a problem since the manufacturers usually give a maximum of 300,000 or 600,000 cycles (depending on the drive or its year of construction) in their specifications.
