I keep getting this error while trying to mformat one faulty floppy. The procedure is: myhakas# mformat a: plain_io: Input/output error Trouble initializing a FAT sector plain_io: Input/output error ^Cplain_io: Input/output error ^C^C^Cplain_io: Input/output error mformat in free(): warning: junk pointer, too high to make sense. mformat in free(): warning: junk pointer, too high to make sense. myhakas# The event occurs while repeatedly hitting Ctrl-C. Can this be any help to identify well known junk pointer thing ? Otherwise I leave it, because it doesn't cause any other trouble. I run quite recent current from Dec. 6. I haven't seen it before and I do lot of work with dos-formatted floppies. I provide any other information if needed.
