I don't observe this bug. Perhaps it's a bug in your operating system, outside of 'dd'? I'm afraid you'll have to dig into it more. You might try running "strace -o tr dd if=/dev/zero of=obj/kern/bochs.img~ count=10000" and seeing which system call is executed just before the failure. Or you can use a debugger on your 'dd' executable. Here's what happens for me: $ dd if=/dev/zero of=obj/kern/bochs.img~ count=10000 2>/dev/null $ ls -l obj/kern/bochs.img~ -rw-r--r-- 1 eggert eggert 5120000 Aug 22 13:20 obj/kern/bochs.img~ $ dd --version dd (coreutils) 6.1 Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
