Error: "trying to put 8192 bytes into a 512-byte buffer"

Two days after going GA, a major bug was found in Data Validation and Journaling. Vdbench lost track of the data buffer size it needed. After the journal recovery Vdbench reads each block that has ever been written to make sure the data is valid. Because of an incorrect buffer size you get the message “trying to put 8192 bytes into a 512 byte buffer”, where 8192 is the data transfer size used in the run that created the journal file.

For expedience purposes I just replaced the vdbench501 distribution files. If you have this problem with 5.01 (and likely also with 5.00) downloaded before August 5 2009, 1:41 pm MDT, please download a fresh copy.
