kern/138244: dd attempts bitwise transfer onto ZFS pool

[Weldon S Godfrey 3]

Humm, yeah, I can't recreate it, I am not sure why it happened that day. 
Go ahead and close.  If it happens after we upgrade (which we plan after 
8.0 goes to RELEASE and during downtime), i'll let you know.

Thanks for looking it to it.

If memory serves me right, sometime around 11:39am, Weldon S Godfrey 3 told me:
