Ouch,

That is definitely a bug for the 0x0a:0x01 modepage as Roi points out.
I have been travelling and my mailbox is a bit 'unstructured' right
now so I can not see Roi's patch
but as SPC states this modepage must be 0x1c in size, (spc4 7.5.8)
we should pad the mode page from the current 6 bytes to the proper 31
bytes byt adding zeroes to it.
