Hugh, I thought your original goal was to kill bdflush?

Anyway, even if bdflush does it job, it looks like

Time: 0 10 20 30 40 50 seconds
Write of 10M into buffers

In case of bdflush, something like
Wr. 2M Wr.2M Wr.2M Wr.2M Wr.2M onto disk
should happen.

In case of bdflush , something like
Wr. 2M Wr.8M may happen in case of your sync awakening
at t=20.
