It crashes at line 414 of dd/conv.c, but I really don't see why. The arguments all look decent--it's only trying to write 512 bytes at a time, and everything looks just like it does during a character device write. I don't understand this area of the system well enough to do much useful debugging, but if anyone wants the particulars, this is 120% repeatable. -Adam Wight To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
