That's pretty strange. Your test job(s) seem pretty massive, you don't
happen to have a cut down version that exhibits the problem?

There also seems to be parts of the error missing from io_u_log_error(),
like the file associated with the error and the io_u details (offset=
and buflen=, for instance).

What version of fio are you using?
