Comment(by nickm):

 Hm.  Looking at what's different here from the non-md case:

 1) We're using stdio.  stdio has buffering.  Maybe we shouldn't be using
 stdio.

 2) We're asserting on failure.  That's *definitely* stupid.  Even if we
 can't figure out how to get the file corruption to go away in all cases,
 we can definitely try to make this not be an assertion.
