When we initialized the loop, above, block_stop was > set to block_start-1 (where block_start == phys_block).

Do you agree? Does this make sense to you? I just tried this and it actually wouldn't work with this setup because phys_block would be set after the new call to bmap instead of keeping the value from the end of the prior loop. However, I have reworked the code using the general idea of the block_start reset you proposed and I will submit this in the next version. Thanks, Leah > > - Ted
