Not the code I'm looking at
(/sys/src/cmd/cwfs/9p2.c)

	start += n;
	if(start < offset)
		continue;
	if(count < n){
		putbuf(p1);
		goto out1;
	}

There's no check that you get
to start == offset before copying data in.
So if you passed in an offset that was
off by a few bytes, it would get rounded
to a real directory entry boundary.
