Just curious, are you going to follow up and try to make it work again
or let it go?
I see what you mean, the perl script does this:
read(3, "bbbbbb 2005-10-21T21:35:06-0500 "..., 4096) = 512
Then this:
write(1, "bbbbbb 2005-10-21T21:35:06-0500 ", 32) = 32

Thanks for the follow-up.
I agree that this is almost certainly not a problem with dd itself.
If you want to see why some other program (like tar or your perl
script works), run it via strace and compare the actual read/write
buffer sizes.
