I don't what may have changed in the driver recently, but from your post
you seem to be using the FC isp and potentially a "SAN" presenting arrays as 
luns to you rather than JBOD on a loop or switch.

If you you have some kind of data mover presenting arrays, your SAN vendor 
may well recomend a maximum queue size per lun (often 20-30)

man camcontrol, look at the tags section.

Your commands may be timing out because you have managed to queue too many 
command (which I hope should not happen). Or.....

Your queues could be filling because your commands are timing out. Which
would imply something is broke :-(
