Please read the following thread.

Worked like a charm! Just patched up smartmontools now and I don't get
the failed cmds anymore. Hope Bruce takes that patch soon.

Bruce took the patch and it will be included in the next version of 
smartmontools.  :-)

Hello Tejun, Bruce,

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but it looks like this patch did not
actually make it into smartmontools 5.37 or CVS.  Tejun, could you
please take another look and update the patch?  There's a new user of
STRANGE_BUFFER_LENGTH and I don't know enough about the code to fix
it properly.
