It looks like there are a number of memory pointer overruns which
valgrind is finding, not just the one you have pointed out.  Thanks
for pointing out this issue.

For this particular case, it's probably better to set
new_io->block_size to fs->blocksize; I'll send out some patches to fix
these issues, and very clearly we need to add some regression tests to
catch these in the future.

Thanks,
