About "sparse" stuff everything's ok, imo. Actually I can live with truncated files due to absence of last write, but for user it's really convenient to have output file with matched size :) so it worths having additional static var with some logic around.
I have another idea about INPUT_BLOCK_SLOP/OUTPUT_BLOCK_SLOP: what about not hardcoding them but getting them out of the filesystem, or out of ibs/obs specified by user - that last would be the best case. But that's probably not for this feature request. -- WBR, Roman Rybalko
