Looks like there is something going wacko with the Log() call, those
numbers aren't real, as least not the 1362... one. Printing out those
numbers individually appears to work ok. Might be a integer width issue?

In any case, looks like in the empty-volume case, iod_Read is returning
2053 bytes when a read of 2048 bytes was requested. Still digging...
