>Description:
When ibs is an integral multiple of ibs, and there is a sequence
of obs consecutive zeroes at the end of the last input block,
the last character written by dd may be some different (non-zero)
byte from the input stream.
>How-To-Repeat:
$ perl -e 'print "ABCDEFGH\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"'|dd ibs=16 obs=8 conv=sparse of=toto
1+0 records in
2+0 records out
16 bytes transferred in 0.001373 secs (11653 bytes/sec)
