I've just read through this bug, and a little experimentation led me to conclude that I had the same problem. Setting -B254 seems to solve it, although the hard drive temperature is now stable at 49 degrees, which is a bit higher than before.

Noticeably on the comments, a number of people suggest that the importance of this bug should be higher than "Wishlist." (A sentiment that I have to agree with, if this is potentially damaging hardware). Can anyone justify why it should not be set any higher, or has it not been changed simply because no-one knows who should change it?
