I had a look at that file (twe...c) and found that it is not 512 bytes but 64
bytes (in 6.2R) and that it is about the virtual memory address and not about
the on-disk-offset...

So it is not a GEOM problem...

Maybe u could try to reduce the graid5 write cache by setting .maxwql and
.maxmem to something smaller.
