When compiling the test case, please make sure to add a third parameter to
open(), for example 0777, otherwise it wouldn't compile on Ubuntu (O_CREAT
requires 3 parameters for open).

Executed the testcase here on an up-to-date Ubuntu 10.04 installed on an
ext4-formatted partition. The testcase does NOT fail if the test file already
exists. But it fails about 130 out of 500 times if I remove the test file prior
to each run. When using Linux 2.6.34 vanilla: 7080 out of 10000 runs reported a
corrupted buffer. And, like expected, the test never fails on an ext3
partition.

So please make sure to run the testcase like this:

# for i in `seq 1 500`; do rm -f /mnt/tst; ./aio_corrupt /mnt/tst; done

where /mnt is an ext4 partition.
