Yes, I see. blktools seems to buggy, yes.

But blktool outputs memory fragments that seems to come from other 
processes. I saw string "bash", "lled with unallocated bl" and other 
strings that do not appear in blktools image. Without further 
investigation it seems that in case of the error, soma data ise leaked 
from kernel to the buggy program in userspace (blktool in this case).
