Using a 4k blocksize did not seem to have an effect on the problem.

The test I am doing is with top in one virtual console and the test
program on another. I keep refreshing top seeing memory use climb,
until it starts hitting swap. After a few seconds, top hangs and the
only indications of life are ping and the console.
