Since the previous patch renabled direct I/O that was disabled on most
(file) systems in coreutils 6.0, it reactivates a bug that was present
since 5.3.0 when direct I/O was added.
I.E. there can now be an odd sized direct I/O write at the end of file,
which will trigger an EINVAL write error which is not currently handled.
The attached patch should fix it up.
thanks,
Pádraig.
