I did some more investigation what type of data error I get and it looks
a bit strange. I always get 28 bytes wrong in a sequence some times this
is data repeated from previous in the file but not always.  Anybody know
what cache line size this cpu has?

Here is a sample if three files with errors in them.

file 13 "od -Ax -tx1z"

28 bytes wrong in a sequence
The data is a repeat from previous data in the file.
