OK, I have been checking over things.

The memory buffer being used for the write source is page aligned,
512bytes. We are writing to disk in 4Mb chunks, that is still a
mulitple of 512bytes.

What is curious to me is that this works on 2.6.8 but not on any
version higher than that.

Any other suggestions?
