So, that isn't ready yet (the current status is in the io_transaction
branch), but meanwhile there was bug introduced in 3.6 which only manifested
itself on 32-bit architectures (more precise, on architectures where
sizeof(off_t) varies depending on the LFS #defines). Thankfully the test
suite caught it...

I just released 3.7, which fixes these issues, and also adds a number of
other fixes.

Enjoy!

This end should point toward the ground if you want to go to space.

If it starts pointing toward space you are having a bad problem and you
will not go to space today.
