Other people have reported observing this problem with other model VAX,
but I do not know of anyone reporting having tested large slices on other
controllers besides the VAXstation built-in ones.

I doubt it'd be the controller code; access to the individual slice appear
to be wrapping around or something which ends up causing corruption, but
other slices on the same drive are not affected. Large drives with smaller
slices have zero problems, too.
