Apologies for replying to my own post, but dd was successful after
rebooting to runlevel 1 and killing all possible userland processes.
Currently, `ps -aux` shows /bin/sh as the only non-kernel process.

Not sure if this is just a fluke, but I doubt it since it failed on four
consecutive attempts before this success. Off to chase root cause now.
;-) I wonder what's in /var/log/messages?
