Gidday Samuel,

Thanks for your report.  I patched both read.2 and write.2.
A little more needed to be said:

       EINVAL fd is attached to an object  which  is  unsuitable
              for  reading;  or  the  file  was  opened with the
              O_DIRECT flag, and either the address specified in
              buf,  the value specified in count, or the current
              file offset is not suitably aligned.

This fix will appear in man-pages-2.09.

Cheers,

Michael
