When I first discovered this problem last year I relied on the error 
report produced by one of the 3rd party disk formatters I used during 
testing.  Based on some of the information you  posted when you 
encountered the problem maybe the off-by-one answer isn't entirely 
correct. I'm now wondering if the pmBlkCnt is being used incorrectly by 
some formatters rather than being incorrectly specified, and I've got 
some ideas how to fix this.

Since I just received my Metrowerks Codewarrior Professional CDROM, I'll 
see if it lives up to it's name and can produce a professional solution 
with my non-professional code.

BTW, for anyone who is interested, Metrowerks is running a special until 
the end of the month for out-of-date subscribers.  Anyone with an old 
version of CW can upgrade to the Professional package for $199 and that 
includes two updates.  For users with an old Academic Gold CW the upgrade 
to Professional is $280.  That's about 1/2 the price for a new license.
