  OK.  skip may be the wrong parameter on the write dd.  I changed it to
seek.  Doesn't appear to significantly improve the function.

  I notice seek talks about breaking the file at that point which can't
really be done with a block device....

  I'm starting to get the feeling that I'm trying to use dd in a way
that wasn't intended...
