A response came back saying there was a flaw in using only one
rotational position: allocation would be randomized.
You seriously misunderstood what Stefan said. Allocation will be done
from any sectors that it *thinks* are in the same cylinder. This is
very non-random.
Regardless, I've applied something similar to Stefan's patch already.
