OK, now I am puzzled, I still got corruption after I backed out the mod,
I removed the old doio output file and the corruption went away on subsequent
runs and I have not been able to reproduce it with or without the mod again. I
will run some more tests and probably be putting the mod back in again shortly.

Sorry for the confusion.
