big SCSI == LOST_DATA????

An front-page article in the March 4, 1991, issue of _Digital News_ deals
with problems associated with using large (> 1.2G) SCSI disks under Ultrix
(through 4.1) and VMS.  The reason given is adherence to SCSI Group 0 commands.
Supposedly, the group 0 commands break down when referencing large addresses.
My question is:  Does this address wraparound problem arise any time one
addresses the last portions of a disk OR only if the disk is considered
one large (read Ultrix "c") partition?  Will the same problem appear if the
latter part of the drive is a smaller "h" partition?
