Thank you very much for making your report.  The machine hosting the
mailing list had hardware problems.  This cascaded into file
corruption and it took down the mailing list for way too many days.
It seems to finally be back online now.  We appreciate your patience.

What version of coreutils is this for?  Actually, the debug output
will provide that.

Just to cover all of the bases would you be so kind as to run the
following command and to send the output to the mailing list?

  env DEBUG=yes VERBOSE=yes make check -C tests/dd TESTS=not-rewound
