I seem to be on the wrong lists to receive all the PR's that I'm
interested in.  Which list sends all non-ports PRs?

The problem with "dd of=file-on-msdosfs oseek=large" is understood
and believed fixed.  It was caused by a bug flushing buffers which
msdosfs exercised by creating too many buffers.  I don't know anything
about the main bug in the PR.
