binary.errlog message: cam scsi not an error

I have a 1000a running 4.0d, no patches with firmware revision 7 that has a
huge binary.errlog file. It is on a client site and is running a
proprietary database that needs to be up 24x7. They are reluctant to put on
patches and upgrade firmware, kind of a, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"
kind of attitude. I have seen these messages repeatedly, but intermittantly
in uerf in the last couple of months. I am hoping that someone on the list
has seen this before. It doesn't seem to be a hard hardware error.[sic]
Here is the errlog entry:
